If your cylinder head gasket is failing, you may experience:
- Engine overheating with temperature gauge rising above normal
- Unexplained coolant loss without visible external leaks
- White smoke from exhaust indicating coolant in combustion chamber
- Oil contamination with milky or frothy appearance
- Significant loss of engine power due to compression loss
- Bubbling in radiator or coolant reservoir
Warning: A failing cylinder head gasket can lead to severe engine damage including warped cylinder heads, cracked engine blocks, or complete engine failure.
| Part Number | 8-97375435-0 8973754350 |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Cylinder Head Gasket |
| Car Model | ISUZU NPR |
| Engine Model | ISUZU 4HK1 |
| Condition | 100% Brand New |
CRITICAL: ISUZU 4HK1 engines use three different thickness head gaskets. Using the wrong gasket can cause engine damage. The correct gasket is determined by measuring piston protrusion.
| Gasket Grade / Notch | Projection Value | Gasket Thickness | Part Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| No-Hole | 0.0173"-0.0204" (0.439-0.519mm) | 1.50mm | 8-97375433-1 |
| 1-Hole | 0.0204"-0.0232" (0.519-0.589mm) | 1.55mm | 8-97375434-1 |
| 2-Hole | 0.0232"-0.0263" (0.589-0.669mm) | 1.575-1.60mm | 8-97375435 |
- Clean the engine block deck of all gasket material, carbon, or debris
- Place a dial indicator on the deck surface and measure piston protrusion at TDC
- Measure each of the four cylinders
- The gasket to use is based on the highest projection value recorded
- Check the gasket for holes (no hole, one hole, or two holes depending on thickness)
Please confirm with your customer:
- Piston protrusion measurement from the engine (highest value)
- Hole count on the original gasket (0, 1, or 2 holes)
- Original part number from the old gasket

Professional Installation Highly Recommended
Replacing a cylinder head gasket requires proper torque specifications, correct gasket positioning, and thorough engine component inspection.
- Verify gasket thickness matches original - confirm 2-hole (1.575-1.60mm) designation
- Measure piston protrusion for each cylinder - use highest value recorded
- Inspect cylinder head and engine block sealing surfaces for warpage or damage
- Clean all sealing surfaces thoroughly - debris can cause premature failure
- Check cylinder head bolt threads and replace if damaged
- Use new cylinder head bolts if recommended by workshop manual
- Ensure engine is completely disassembled with cylinder head removed
- Clean cylinder head and engine block sealing surfaces with appropriate solvent
- Check flatness of both surfaces using precision straightedge and feeler gauge
- Position new gasket correctly - ensure 2-hole orientation matches OEM specifications
- Install cylinder head onto gasket
- Follow angular tightening method specified in ISUZU workshop manual
- Torque cylinder head bolts in correct sequence to specified values
- Reassemble remaining engine components
- Refill with fresh coolant and engine oil
- Start engine and check for leaks
- Perform cooling system pressure test to verify seal integrity
