Steel laminate gasket with positioning device

A steel laminate gasket adapted to be situated between two engine blocks, one of the engine blocks having at least two positioning members for setting a location of the gasket, comprising:

• at least one first plate including at least two first holes, each first hole having a diameter slightly larger than that of the positioning member of the engine block,
• a second plate situated adjacent to the first plate and including at least two second holes, each having a diameter essentially the same as that of the positioning member of the engine block and a distance between the two second holes being essentially the same as that between the two positioning members, said second holes communicating with the first holes so that position of the gasket relative to the engine blocks can be determined exactly only by the second holes engaging the positioning members of the engine block wherein said second holes are smaller in diameter than said first holes, and
• a bottom plate situated under the second plate and having at least two bottom holes with a diameter slightly larger than that of the positioning member of the engine block.
