Kioti Blown engine

Maybe bite the bullet on the new one and over time try and rebuild the old one, selling it to pay for the new one.

The Kioti 2.2 liter engine does not have sleeves like a traditional tractor engine. The engine is similar to an automotive engine in that everything is cast as one piece. I looked into rebuilding my 2.2 liter and I was told by the Kioti dealer that these engines were not designed to be rebuilt and a new engine is the only viable option. That is why Kioti does not sell over sized pistons for a re-bore or any bearings for grinding a crank.

There are aftermarket companies that make sleeves. "LA Sleeve" is one that I've used for motorcycle engine rebuilds. A good rebuilder should know of more.

This is an interesting thought. There arent replaceable sleeves in this Kioti engine but I too have used LA Sleeve to reline ( with Nikasil) a non sleeved motorcycle cylinder. There are several companies in the U.S. that offer similar services. Might be worth making a couple of calls and determine if this is an option?

MasterMike. I find that utilizing the parts books to ID parts, then reverse engineering the other applications it is used in is the best way to find answers. The one site sponsor has some Kioti Parts books online.

Looking at the DK45SE engine block I see it is a parent bore engine aka sleeveless. This means you would have to have a machine shop hone it out and put in oversized pistons if they are even available, which they are not. You might be able to have a custom repair sleeve made, have the block bored out, and then reassemble, but if the water passages are too close you could end up with an worthless block and lots of machine shop time.

So we are stuck finding a new engine. There are three cylinder block assemblies used with this engine, however it appears that they all have been superseded by E6340-A0012.

Your crankshaft will also need to be examined and turned down if scratched, however it appears Kioti does not offer undersized rod and main bearings, so you would have to get a new crank.

Remember, you will need a new block, pistons, piston rings, New piston pin bushings, main and rod bearings, gaskets for everything mounted to the block. Due to oil starvation / metal contamination a new oil pump is a good idea too. Your cost for just the block is about to double if you do the work yourself. If you hire the work out it might not be economically feasible, compared to replacement cost of the machine.

What does the tag on the engine say it is? Worst case scenario there are some DK45 at salvage yards and it might be worth looking into to see if a DK45 engine will fit in a DK45SE.

There are some rumblings on the internet about the Daedong 4A220 being the same as the Kubota V2203 and might be worth investigating.

Not likely. I have never heard of Kubota issuing licenses to build their products. Even finding the right engine for a different application or OEM can result in unexpected complications and grief!

There's usually enough meat in most cast iron engines to bore out up to 1mm. The water jackets and oil galleys would have to be dangerously thin or close to the bore to prevent that. You'd need OS pistons of course. Companies that make pistons have catalogs. You might be able to find a match. There's also custom but that's going to run the price up.

How bad is the cylinder damage? If it's not bad it could be honed and still be within spec. I don't know about diesels but with two strokes a low oil seizure often results in aluminum from the piston being deposited on the cylinder. That can be removed carefully with acid.

Low oil often damages the plain bearings before the pistons or cylinders. If they are all replaceable shell bearings rather than bored in the block or head that's good. But the crank or camshaft's bearing surfaces might be too damaged to be used.

OP, you are in Ohio and fawcett tractor is in Ontario, CA. The exchange on the U.S.$ is about 35%. Every $100.oo US you spend gets you $135.oo worth of CDN stuff. You might try these guys; Home | Fawcett >> Fawcett | St. Marys | Ontario, Canada

We have a few wreckers. Lately though, people don't like the prices. Teeswater Agro Parts is another close by.

I never hear the US guys talk much about wreckers down there.

Curiously, other than a blown engine (which wouldn't help the OP) what would cause a tractor to be junked, especially a relatively modern one like a DK45?

 

[Industrial Toys]

Fire or wreck of some sort I guess. Saw a fire damged almost new Kioti at auction a few weeks ago. Just the cab burned, one rear tire slightly singed (sp?).
