Description

This is a water inlet housing gasket, found on the timing belt end of the engine, normally obscured by the power steering pump and air conditioning compressor.

This is the most common source of the mystery coolant leak and antifreeze smell for these vehicles with the 4XE1 and 4XF1 engines. The water inlet housing is located behind and under the power steering pump and air conditioner compressor, and is seldom seen or serviced. After several years, the gasket will begin leaking and coolant will slowly drip down the front of the engine block behind the air conditioning compressor, baking off on the hot engine block, and evaporating before it reaches the oil pan or drips onto the ground. The trail of white residue is completely obscured by the air conditioning compressor, nearly impossible to find while casually searching for the source of the smell of baking engine coolant.

These are among the first items discontinued by Isuzu and Chevrolet, prior to Isuzu ceasing passenger vehicle sales in North America. Soon after, the Victor brand aftermarket gasket was discontinued. This gasket is unique to Isuzu 4X engines and is not shared by any other automobile or brand of engine. We searched out nearly every new, unsold gasket in North America, and stockpiled them.
