I bought a hyster forklift at an online auction sight unseen other than the picture in the listing. It runs and drives but the engine oil looked like a vanilla milkshake. The radiator was somewhat low as well. Head gasket I say to myself, and pull the head.
I didnt find any obvious failure in the gasket. In fact, it appears to be a reman engine. The head is stamped and has one of those overheat buttons glued to it and the pistons are .75 mm oversize.
I dont see any cracks, but havent pulled the valves yet. Anybody know where a crack would be likely? As best as i can tell, its not warped much if at all. Also, is there any other way besides the head that i could be getting coolant in the oil? Other than a cracked block somewhere, i dont see anything. This is the same or similar 2.2l engine as the s10s and late 80s and 90s front wheel drive cars.
I bought it cheap enough that I have no problem buying a head if thats what it needs, but I'd sure like to find the issue before I put it back together.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
