with high combustion pressure fig8 shows a seventh embodiment g of a steel laminate gasket of the invention the gasket g comprises an upper plate g10 with a bead g10b and a lower plate g11 with a bead g11b as in the gasket a the gasket g further includes a lower outer plate g12 under the lower plate g11 a plate g13 above the upper plate g10 and an upper outer plate g14 above the plate g13 the plate g13 operates as a surface pressure regulation plate as in the plate e13 of the gasket e in the gasket g since the plate g13 is placed above the upper plate g10 sealing pressure applied to the beads g10b g11b is controlled also since the outer plates g12 g14 are mounted outside the plates g10 g11 the plates g10 g11 are protected from deformation of the cylinder block and cylinder head when the engine is actuated fig9 shows an eighth embodiment h of a steel laminate gasket of the invention the gasket h comprises an upper plate h10 with a bead h10b and a plate h12 the gasket h further includes a middle plate h15 with a hole h15a the diameter of which is substantially the same as that of the bead h10b and a ring shape bead h16 the middle plate h15 is located between the upper plate h10 and the plate h12 while the bead h16 is located between the bead h10b and the plate h12 in the hole h15a the thickness of the plate h15 is thinner than a plate constituting the bead h16 the middle plate h15 operates as a surface pressure regulation plate in the gasket h although the ring shape bead.
