Ordered Early F Engine part from Forklift Site (1 Viewer)

[VA Mountain FJ40]

I was having a hard time finding the gasket for between upper and lower 1967 thermostat housing halves.

Searching on Toyota P/N 16341-60010 I wasn’t finding any hits on FJ40 vendor sites, but I did get hits on forklift parts sites with the same P/N but for a much later year forklift motor. Gasket prices were good but the shipping was $12-$20 for a single gasket.

I ended up ordering from Lift Parts Warehouse and bit the shipping bullet. Figured a Toyota part number is a Toyota parts number, right? Ordered several just because the shipping was the same.

Parts arrived today. The gasket fit!

So I successfully ordered an early F (1967) engine thermostat housing gasket from a current day forklift parts house using the OEM Toyota P/N 16341-60010.

I am willing to ship two of the extra gaskets to mud members for a very reasonable price. PM me for details.

Well, how much cost to send to Arizona ?

It looks like I have buyers for the two extra gaskets. Sorry, I don’t have any more available, but they can be had by contacting the forklift parts house.

Could you provide the Toyota forklift model that utilized that gasket?
It would help with searching for other engine parts.

Edit: nevermind - you can browse the engine parts directly.

I do not know what forklift model used the gasket I ordered. I just used the Toyota parts number to order. I think I saw references to a 2F engine, but the gasket I ordered comes from an early F engine. I don’t know anything about the forklifts, other than their parts houses stock some overlapping parts based on Toyota parts numbers. I wish I knew more, but that’s it.

Best,

Glad that worked out for you! I am going to order a air cleaner gasket from another site that say's its for a forklift. I'll order a few extras for mud members because the shipping from this site is also astronomical.

I like being able to give back to the community. It’s good karma besides, it doesn’t hurt so bad if it’s the same shipping for one, three, or four.

Is "THIS" the gasket?

It is… I don’t know if that gasket is as thick as the one I got, but it is for the same F engine application. It is good to validate that we can get it from cruiserteq.

There have been posts about folks using the thick rubber gasket that comes in some thermostat housing gasket sets, and they leak. You don’t want a thick gasket between the upper and lower housings.

I reckon I will trace a couple of copies of that gasket on some gasket paper I have before I button things up on the thermostat. That way, if I do get a leak, I will have spares to replace it with.

if they all leak, I don’t understand why they would still be sold. However, I will use your caution to create some parts based insurance if I have found a flaky gasket part. Thank you for the heads up.

Just a side note, ignition coils are the same along with other interchangable parts

Yeah I got a Toyota coil from a fork lift parts company, can’t remember who though .
