The Nissan H20 Forklift Engine Series: Gaskets and Oil Pans, and Adapters, Oh My!?

Liberty Forklift Engine
When you're calling about a replacement Nissan H20 forklift engine, the guy or gal on the other end of the phone will say, “What kind of H20?â€. When this happens, and it will, you should be ready. Knowing ahead will spare you down time - and possibly, depending who that guy or gal on the other end is, frustration.
If you don't know, don't stress - Liberty Forklift Engine has got your back.
H20’s, let's just get right down to it. Here we go…
There are two types of cylinder heads on the H20 called the “2 bolt†and “3 boltâ€.
To find out which you have, what you’ll need to do: Remove the housing so that when you’re looking at the head, it is bare. There are going to be two bolt holes or three bolt holes. "3 bolt" are evenly spaced on all three sides, and the gasket triangular in shape. As seen here:
There are also two depths of oil pans. 4 ½†and 6â€. Determining which can be a bit of a pain if your engine is still in the truck. But this information is important to know because the original H20 can come with either. Measure the deep end. As seen here:
Oil filter adapter or no adapter: The adapter on the original H20 has an aluminum mount where the oil filter screws into. It is a clear difference to the ‘newer’ H20-II – where the oil filter screws directly into the block. Adapter = H20. Directly into the block = H20-II (and H20K). As seen here:
Then there’s the serial number. One of those rare times that the lift truck’s model and serial comes into play. A serial number for the H20 will begin with “Sâ€. H20-II is “Kâ€.
*Another standout difference in features of the H20 and the H20-II is a coolant tube that is pressed into the side of the head. The tube connects the cylinder head and the radiator. If that tube is present, you have an H20-II. So keep an eye out for that - Dead giveaway.
Now, of course, because we are discussing the H20 series of engines there has to be an exception to the S vs. K. Can’t get off that easy!
Komatsu forklift trucks with the model number FG25C-11: If your Komatsu’s model number ends in “11†you have to go back and check the serial. If your serial number begins with “S†you have an H20 2 bolt thermostat, shallow pan.
If your Komatsu FG25C-11 model number ends in, “11â€, and the serial begins with “Kâ€, you have an H20 that Nissan built specifically for Komatsu. The filter will screw directly into the block.
So don’t get thrown off by that specific Komatsu. Always double check everything anyway, and have that information on-hand.
Now to the H20K (aka, the H20-II-K, in some parts of the country) - this is the “in between†engine. They are pretty rare as engines go. But they are out there – and you very well may have one.
The H20K was manufactured for a short period of time between the original H20 (and its variations) and the H20-II.
This one is unique in its features. It is like a hybrid of sorts, mixing features of both the H20 and H20-II.
What you need to look for with the H20K: The serial number will begin with a “Kâ€. The cylinder head is the same as the H20 – 2 bolt. The big tip-off is it being a 2 bolt with the oil filter screwing directly into the block.
So to summarize: Always check for the features listed. Thermostat bolts, oil filter has adapter or screws in directly into the block, and 4 ½†or 6†pan size, coolant tube from head to radiator (or not). Those are the easiest ways to ensure that you know what you have before you pick up the phone. This will save you time and even spare you some frustration.
If you need any one of these three version/variations call Liberty Forklift Engine at 248-765-6484.
We hope that we helped you find the answers you need about identifying your Nissan H20 forklift engine, so you can be prepared when and if you need a remanufactured replacement H20 series forklift engine.
In coming issues of Industry Insights we will cover many more variations of several other forklift engine
brands.
