Head gasket?

[-Savage-]

Hi folks, I have a new head gasket, but its three sheets crimped together, do i seperate them and use the middle one, or do I place it in as is?

To me all three look like metal, the outer two are black/grey, and the inner one is silver.

Still use it as it is, they are called " composit gaskets".

Use it as supplied, and take care not to scrape off the thin layer of viton coating as it does the job of sealing it up.
