I too am very intersted in this subject. Since my 1600
engine is smoking badly I need to consider the
options. I am wondering what such a rebuild would cost
using forklift U20 engine parts. One lister gave me
the url for a website for forklift parts and wonder
what parts one can use and which ones will not work.
The site is http://www.motorpowerinc.com/ As always
TIA!
