Kioti Blown engine

[MasterMike]

I own a 12 year old Kioti DK45SE, engine was run with no oil(don't get me started) looking for a used or rebuilt block...new Kioti is nearly $4k. I have been told that Daedong makes motors for many other companies. Anyone know a way to obtain a used or rebuilt DaeDong 45HP 2.2L block??

I assume you tried Google? I know there are tractor junkyards also. I assume you need more than a block, like pistons, bearings etc?

How much is damaged on the engine?

My search shows it is a Daedong 4A220LWH engine. I couldn't find anything....

Cyliders scored..lots of metal in what little oil was left

How many hours were on the motor?

You might have to just get it rebuilt. Then at least you have a fresh motor. But can you even get parts?

A while back, a member here had an engine failure in a Kubota. He wrote a lengthy thread about replacing the engine and it was an arduous task. I can't find the thread now, so hopefully the member will respond with a link since he provided many valuable lessons learned in a very detailed thread.

Here are some major points I remember.

He found a used engine from a recycler in Kentucky. But, the engine was not as represented and he returned it and ended up having to get his credit card company involved to get a refund.

He did end up buying a new engine from Kubota. He had to destroy the old engine, even though it may have been rebuildable due to emissions rules.

Good luck.

If he was needing a Kubota engine, he wouldn't have a problem, although even being everywhere, they still command a high price used.
