04112-40180-71 Gasket Kit Engine Valve Grind Toyota 2TD/2TG

Overview

The 04112-40180-71 GASKET KIT, ENGINE VALVE GRIND is the Toyota-specified gasket set for top-end engine work on 2TD and 2TG series forklifts. It provides the sealing components needed whenever the cylinder head is removed for valve grinding, head resurfacing, or gasket renewal.

Head, manifold, and cover gaskets are single-use items. Reusing them after a valve grind invites compression loss, oil or coolant leaks, and repeat labor. Fitting a fresh 04112-40180-71 kit restores factory sealing between the head and block, keeps combustion pressure where it belongs, and helps your Toyota forklift hold its intended power and fuel economy.

Compatibility

The 04112-40180-71 for 02-2TD15 applications and the wider family suits Toyota internal combustion counterbalance forklifts in the 1.5 to 2.5 tonne classes:

• Toyota 02-2TD15/18/20/23/25 series – diesel-powered trucks, together with the 2TD20
• Toyota 02-2TG20/25 series – gasoline-powered trucks

Always confirm against your truck’s data plate and parts book. If you send us your model and serial number, our team will verify that the 04112-40180-71 gasket kit is correct before you order.

Quality and Reliability

Toyota designed the 2TD and 2TG engines for long service in demanding material handling environments, and correct gasketing is part of what keeps them tight. This valve grind gasket kit is supplied against Toyota part number 04112-40180-71, so gasket dimensions, thickness, and material behavior match the components the engine was built with.

Correct gasket compressibility matters. It sets even sealing loads on the head bolts, protects machined faces from distortion, and maintains stable valve and manifold alignment. Choosing the specified kit rather than a generic substitute reduces the risk of leaks, blown gaskets, and a second teardown — protecting both your uptime and your repair budget.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Work on a fully cooled engine with the battery disconnected.
• Follow the Toyota workshop manual for removal, torque values, and the head-bolt tightening sequence; renew stretch bolts where the manual calls for it.
• Clean every mating surface and check the head and manifold faces for warpage or damage before fitting the new gaskets.
• Fit only the new gaskets supplied in the kit — never reinstall old ones.
• After reassembly, set valve clearances to specification, run the engine to operating temperature, and recheck torques and joints for leaks.

Following these steps helps the 04112-40180-71 gasket kit deliver a leak-free, long-lasting seal.
