I have blown a head gasket on my 99 Isuzu Rodeo 2.2 liter. Although it
still runs it overheats badly and I know because of the white smoke
out of the tail pipe, I need to pull the head. Where I live, they want
over $100 for the water pump and most places don't carry the gasket
set. I have found these on EBay.

Eristic? Has any body heard of this gasket manufacturer or used this
brand? Also has anybody bought parts from this supplier. I would hate
to have to do the work twice because of cheap parts.

I could only find a head gasket at a dealer and, there aren't many of those
left anymore.  However, a few days ago I found  Isuzu has a pretty good
parts locator page now.  That was at work, so I don't have the URL, but I'm
sure you can find it with a search.

That's the site  To address your original post, the dealer supplied cylinder
head casket for my '98 Amigo with the X22RE engine from the dealer cost
about $50.

Mine blew because of over heating. The following is what I learned.

- I bought my Amigo used in January and didn't know the radiator was so
plugged that it was restricted to about 30% of capacity.
- I didn't realize I burst a radiator hose for up to 10 minutes.  When I
finally looked at the temp gauge, it was pegged well beyond the red line so
I pulled over and shut off the engine.
- After replacing the burst hose it was clear to me that the cylinder head
gasket was fried because I was getting water vapor out the exhaust and,
exhaust smells out of the radiator.
- I pulled the cylinder head and found that both the block and head where
well within the limits for distortion as defined by the Haynes manual I
have.  Given the abuse the engine suffered that day, with 180,000 plus miles
on it already, I decided to fix it.

Checking whether the surfaces of the block and the head where within factory
specs was a matter of using a straight edge and feeler guage on various
dimensions.  I will be glad to post that for you but, if you're going to
replace the cylinder head gasket your self, I strongly recommend getting a
manual anyway and, it will have pictures which I can't provide.

My radiator was severely plugged; it had only 30% of it's flow capacity.  I
bought it used in January and didn't realize it had a problem until March.
The cylinder head gasket blew after I drove for up to 5 minutes after a
radiator hose had burst
