The metal grommet has an arcuate cross-section with spaced apart ends and retaining a metal compression ring in an enveloping fashion, with at least one of the end of the metal grommet being bent so as to exert a spring abutting force on the bore wall of the gasket to assist in holding and centering the grommet relative to the bore wall.
