They used H20s in fork lifts from what I have been told and all I've
read about.

Subject: Re: Cheap U20 timing chains ?
FWIW, I was able to buy all my U20 chains, sprockets, and tensioners
from
Western Auto (later Parts America and now Advance Auto Parts) for
$110.00
two years ago! The guy behind the counter was really enthusiastic and
spent
two days on the phone to get them. Even if it isn't listed in their
computer, many times they can call their suppliers for additional info.
The
parts I received were Clevite. They installed fine, with the exception
of
the crank sprocket, which was the right gearing but the shoulder was
much
too long.
As many of you know, a variation of the U20 was used in the Datsun fork
truck. It was set up for torque rather than speed and did not turn near
as
many RPM's as the SRL set up.
If all the manufacturers Stephan listed are making the correct parts, I
wouldn't hesitate to save several hundred dollars and use their
products!
They are all quality manufacturers.
