I have a Kubota d722 that came out of a ex-military clubcar 4x4 UTV . apparently in the 306 hours of its life the oil was never changed & it must have run low on oil. When I took the head off, I noticed that the cylinders still have cross hatching BUT their is dark circular spots on either side of all 3 cylinders. Its right where the ends of the piston wrist pin would be. There is no scoring, just a dark patch. Would that be from the bad rod bearings letting the rod wiggle?
Does anyone have experience in rebuilding small Kubota engines? I'm trying to find my break point. I've only worked on Cummins engines, not sure how much it cost to have these small engines honed and turning the crank. With a rebuild kit being $580 and machine shop labor, i m wondering if it would be cheaper to just buy a engine off eBay? I find these d722 kubotas for around $1200-1500 online.
