Gasket

A gasket to be attached between a cylinder head and a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• a pair of substrates;
• an intermediate plate disposed between the pair of substrates;
• and
• a spacer disposed between the pair of substrates,
• wherein:
• each of the pair of substrates includes a cooling water sealing bead as a bead portion for sealing a cooling water passage surrounding a bore wall formed in the cylinder block,
• the intermediate plate includes a wedge portion as a portion formed in a shape corresponding to a deck surface of the bore wall of the cylinder block so as to be sandwiched between the bore wall and the cylinder head, and
• the spacer is formed so as to extend in a cross direction crossing an arrangement direction of boreholes of the cylinder block without overlapping the cooling water sealing bead, and be sandwiched between the cylinder block and the cylinder head at each end in the arrangement direction of the boreholes.
