CATERPILLAR SKID STEERS:
• Caterpillar 236B/242B/246B/252B/262B 3044C/S4S 3.3L Diesel (2004-2012)
MITSUBISHI FORKLIFTS:
• Mitsubishi FD25/FD30/FD35 S4S 3.3L Diesel (2000-2015)
IMPORTANT:
Mitsubishi 32A04-13200 is the same gasket as Cat 233-5483 — the valve cover gasket for the Mitsubishi S4S engine, which Caterpillar sells as the 3044C. Found in Cat 236B/242B/246B/252B/262B skid steers, Cat 304CR/305CR mini excavators, and Mitsubishi FD25/FD30/FD35 forklifts. If you are cross-referencing from a Cat parts book, 233-5483 is the identical gasket under the Cat number.
The S4S/3044C is a 3.3L 4-cylinder diesel built by Mitsubishi and used by Caterpillar in smaller compact equipment. Failure symptoms: oil seeping from the valve cover, oil on the exhaust manifold. The cork/rubber material dries out with age. When replacing, clean both mating surfaces thoroughly — cork residue must be completely removed. Do not use RTV sealant as a substitute. Torque bolts evenly to avoid crushing the cork gasket.
⚠️ Cross-ref: Mitsubishi 32A04-13200 = Cat 233-5483. Same gasket, different branding.
