Cylinder Head ID

Post by Robbo »

Need to ID a cylinder head - possibly some industrial 4 cyl maybe for a Hyster Fork Lift or something - in Army cosmoline packings - has a date 10-5-55 and number 155202 stamped on them. Distinguishing feature is the twp stud holes close together in the centre of the head as seen in the pics.

Any ideas before I have to drag out my catalogues and Hollanders.

If it is a Continental, there may be a Model No. Prefix to the part number.

Figured you might recognize it :wink: - that number does seem consistent with other Hyster part numbers but that is only a hunch. Date is cast in head so not a WW2 repack I think. Could possibly be a head off a flathead V8 - but wouldn't they be all OHV by then.

Another mystery Army part I suppose. Will have more time over the weekend to research.
