An improved multi-layer gasket for an internal combustion engine comprises an inner spacer layer sandwiched between top and bottom surface layers. The inner spacer layer provides cylinder openings designed to correspond with each cylinder bore in the engine block. Channels cut in the spacer layer extend outwardly from each cylinder opening. A combustion-sealing member formed with tabs extending outwardly from the circumference of the sealing member is received into each cylinder opening and orientated with each tab residing in a channel. Each tab is embossed at its distal end and eyeletted with an eyelet to the top and bottom layers. Tabs retain the sealing member in the cylinder opening, positively locate the sealing member over the cylinder bores on the engine block during installation and permit the sealing member to float in the cylinder bore during operation of the engine independently of the spacer layer.
