Hi,
I have a Kioti LB1914 that needs some work. Everything was running fine and then there's a knock in the engine...
With the help of a friend who has some basic engine knowledge I have found the piston pins are loose and need replacing, the crankshaft bearings have been pounded out and the crankshaft is scored. Too me a non-technical person this seems really bad.
My friend indicated the bits of bearing that got pounded out may have caused other damage ... further dismantling would be required to find out.
What are the chances a rebuild would be an option, what would be involved ... or should I just buy a replacement engine?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
