Hi,

I have an old Mitsubishi FG35 Serial #AF29 8klbs forklift. It has a 6 cylinder engine and was converted from gas to propane many years ago. At some point someone wrote "4GTS" on the valve cover. I am very sure the head gasket is blown or head is cracked as we have a hard time starting, oil and water mix in oil, and a lot of water coming out exhaust. I am looking to get help with the following please.

1. Any information to help identify my forklift engine or where to look for data plates. I think I found refurbished engines for about $3.5k but need to be sure. Would like to find a head online too if I can just to be aware of possibly what I am looking at cost wise worst case scenario.

2. Any manuals online?

Thank you
