I just purchased this fork lift knowing of a minor head gasket compression leak. Low hours (73##). Runs ok but compression leakage into the coolant is evident and a bit of white smoke when it starts up. No evidence of water in oil.
Not a big problem in my opinion but the only manual I have found so far is the parts manual and have identified the engine as a XA or HA. And the gasket sets have the same part number, making that simple. No overhead cam or timing complications.

Looks like an easy job and access it easy with those swing out side panels.

I'm ready to go ahead since I already do a lot of automotive and marine engine repairs. What I lack is the torque and bolt sequence specifications. Maybe the valve clearances would also be helpful.

Due to the low hours, I'm not planning on doing anything beyond the head gasket. Will check the deck and head for defects and flatness. If no evidence of cracks or burned valves, I'll just put it back together, with the aid of the above information.

Thanks
Steve
