Abstract:
A system and method for fluidly sealing a cylinder head interface between an engine block and a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. An example apparatus includes a perimeter seal disposed on an outer periphery of the cylinder head. The perimeter seal has a first surface to abut a cylinder head sealing surface and a second surface to abut an engine block sealing surface. The perimeter seal is configured to prevent fluid from an external environment from entering the cylinder head interface and to allow fluid within the cylinder head interface to vent to the external environment when the fluid is above a predetermined pressure. A first fluid transfer tube seal fluidly seals a first fluid transfer orifice extending between the engine block and the cylinder head. The perimeter seal and the first fluid transfer tube seal are formed as a unitary structure.

Claim (Index 22):
The apparatus of  claim 20 , wherein the perimeter seal comprises:\n a central wall; a first wall extending at a first angle from a first end of the central wall towards the cylinder head sealing surface; and a second wall extending at a second angle opposite the first angle from a second end of the central wall opposite the first end towards the engine block sealing surface, wherein each of the first wall and the second wall include respective cross-sectional thicknesses that decrease with increasing distances from the central wall, wherein the first wall and the second wall are configured to deform as pressure is applied thereto such that the first wall increases its sealing pressure against the cylinder head sealing surface and the second wall increases its sealing surface against the engine block sealing surface.
