**Final update**
Two valve seats let go causing the damage.
450 easy hours, motor replaced, no help what so ever from Kioti.
And thanks for all the support from so many people! Don稚 worry kids, my big boy pants are fully on. I just posted here so other people with know about this issue. Talk about things being not all unicorns and rainbows and I am somehow at fault or unrealistic, in light of how some people have gone to support the brand is indicative of how deeply many people inbide in their Kool-Aid.
And actually I could really give a flying F what your opinion is of me or how I handled the situation.
Enjoy your tractors and I hope you have better luck than I did.

The above is no update at all. You, as the tractor's owner and poster who starter this thread have given ALL of those who read this thread nothing real to determine if what you tell us is the case with why your ( fill in any brand name here), tractor broke, what you use(d) it for, or any relevant details whatsoever.
NO, Kioti owner's, from my experience here on TBN, don't like being jerked around by someone who has no problem bashing the brand or the warranty service long after it has expired.
Somehow guys like you want sympathy for your plight, AND expect a companies warranty to extend WAY past the end date, because you happen, we're 'told,' to have low hours on the machine. Not happening. We, at least, I know better from having owned two Kiotis and one of their UTV's in the last ten years.
AND I owned and ran a foreign only auto sales and repair store for over 10 years too; which points to my knowing what I'm talking about in terms of engines, diesels and gassers.
You say you only posted here so other "with know about this issue". (Try proof reading your stuff before posting it...).
So, you're basically saying you want people to know about your 'bad luck', with no actual accurate detail to support it. Doesn't work this way. Anyone with a brain, which in my experience most Kioti owner's have, won't buy into a tragic tale with no details but what one chooses to share to support your claim.
And, BTW, luck has nothing to do with it.
So, you won't give us details of the before, how about the after? Why not detail the actual cost of and actual cause of the engine damage to your motor based on what the mechanic who R&R'ed it told you?
My money is on you won't. So prove me wrong.
AND, BTW, veiled swearing is not allowed on TBN as stated in the 'contract' you agreed to when you signed up for TBN. TBN is a family values oriented site, FYI, and takes it seriously.
CM, out.
