    Default Whats this head off?

    Hey guys had a mechanic come through work and doesnt know what this head is off but needs a headgasket for it? Does anyone recognize this head at all? Cheers

    WTF
    How can someone have a head in their possession, intend to use it and not know what motor it fits.

    I think its from a forklift. Which is what the mechanic does alot of the time. He knows its a toyota just doesnt know what its off. He took it to toyota and they couldnt find out, saying its over 35yr old. So thought i'd give it a shot here.

    is there a number in the casting somewhere? A pic of the manifold and valve sides would work/help as well.
