Winter Qtr starts again
Not a lot of hours in the shop so far, and wont be for the rest of this quarter due to extra general ed classes I'll be taking, but I do have a little bit that I've picked up so far. BTC's Yale forklift was burning coolant and poofing out loads of smoke, so I finally got the head off today. I want to do some more research in regards to what kind of unique wear that propane has over gas. I did figure out that it has a very similar engine to a 1988 mazda b2200 2.2L FE (still haven't found the engine tag). Also put a little time into seeing how a propane system works, and it is pretty much the same as gas. A little conversion kit is all it took, and it burns the gas like any other fuel. Boom! and the crank goes round. Pretty basic, but I wanted to make sure before I tore into it. I'll get some pics of the gasket and head damage after I do that propane damage research.

Good report.
ReplyDeleteEdit on this post: No tag found yet, but found a big ol' F2 stamped between the head and block. Helpful...
ReplyDeleteThat's cool that your doing this project because, at work we have a Toyota forklift with a blown head gasket that I'm going to repair in the near future. We will have to compare notes sometime.
ReplyDeleteI know you worked this quarter...any hours to report?
