Water Inlet Seal Set 4XE1 DOHC, Geo Storm Lotus Elan Isuzu Impulse Stylus I-Mark

**Isuzuperformance Water Inlet Seal Set for 4XE1 Isuzu Engines.** **For the following vehicles with 4XE1 engines:** - **Lotus Elan M100 - ALL** - **Geo Storm GSi - 1989-1991 With 1.6 Liter Engine** - **Isuzu Impulse XS -1990-1991 With 1.6 Liter Engine** - **Isuzu Impulse RS AWD Turbo - ALL** - **Isuzu Stylus S, XS - With 1.6 Liter Engine** - **Isuzu Gemini JT191F, JT191S - ALL** - **Isuzu I-Mark RS - 1989 With 1.6 Liter Engine** - **Isuzu Gemini JT190 - ALL** **Description** > This is a set of gaskets to seal the water inlet housing, found on the timing belt end of the engine, normally obscured by the power steering pump and air conditioning compressor.   Set includes one gasket, one standard size o-ring, and one oversized o-ring. > > This is the most common source of the mystery coolant leak and antifreeze smell for these vehicles with the 4XE1 DOHC engine.   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 and o-ring 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. > > We then sourced duplicates of the original RED SILICONE O-Rings to match the spec of the factory equipment.   (These hold up to heat and contaminates better than the cheap black Buna o-rings found at your corner hardware store).   We also sourced oversized O-Rings, for use with damaged water pipes and housings which have rubbed against each other and/or rusted and oxidized.   The oversized o-ring fills in the damaged area. **Item Specifics** > Set of One gasket and Two o-rings: - One Water Inlet Gasket; Isuzuperformance waterjet cut from .063 inch rubber-fiber material; Interchanges with: - Isuzu PN 8-94457-314-0 (90-93) - Isuzu PN 9-09561-218-0 (1989) - Chevrolet/Geo PN 94457314 - Lotus PN A100E6335S - Victor/Carquest PN C31213 - One Standard Size O-Ring Red Silicone Interchanges with: - Isuzu PN 9-09565-220-0 - Chevrolet/Geo PN 94005919 - One Oversized O-Ring Red Silicone Just in case the water pipe and housing are damaged or have rubbed each other causing the seating space for the o-ring to become enlarged. #### 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.
