Water Inlet Gasket 4XC1 Chevrolet Geo Spectrum Isuzu I-Mark Pontiac Sunburst

**Isuzuperformance Water Inlet Gasket for 4XC1 Isuzu Engines.** **For the following vehicles with 4XC1 engines:** - **Chevrolet Geo Spectrum - 1985-1989 ALL** - **Isuzu I-Mark -1985-1989 ALL** - **Pontiac Asuna Sunburst - ALL** - **Isuzu Gemini -1985-1989 ALL With Gasoline Engine** **Description** > Exact reproduction of the OEM water inlet gasket, waterjet cut from .063 inch thick rubber-fiber gasket material. > > 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 4XC1 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.   Those gaskets are now gone. > > We had new gaskets made using new, more modern material, and make those available for purchase. **Item Specifics** > One gasket: - One Water Inlet Gasket Waterjet cut from .063 inch thick rubber-fiber material. - Interchanges with: Isuzu PN 8-94239-279-0 - Chevrolet/Geo PN 94239279 #### What is the Isuzuperformance? > Isuzuperformance has been performance tuning and building race cars out of Isuzu made cars since 1986, participating in SCCA, NASA, and JAF sanctioned autocross, gymkhana, and road racing events.   Isuzuperformance racing parts are the most desired and highly sought after performance parts for Isuzu cars, Geo Storm, and Lotus Elan.   In 25+ years of maintaining Isuzu made cars, Isuzuperformance has developed a secondary talent for making restoration and repair parts for these vehicles, and has recently begun offering those parts for sale, to those restoring and maintaining Isuzu made cars. #### Sales Tax: > Missouri buyers pay sales tax on the item cost.
