Abstract
A cooling system for an engine includes a cylinder block defining a water jacket therein, the water jacket having an inlet. A water pump housing is fixed to the cylinder block and a water pump suction cover is fixed to the housing and sealed thereto by a gasket. Together, they form a cooling water inlet passage. An integral projecting portion of the gasket projects into the water jacket inlet to guide water into the water jacket in a preferential direction.
