Looking for a Yanmar 4JH3-TE or 4JH4-TE

[BrightAyes]

Hi,
I have a Yanmar 4JH3-TE with high hours and am looking for a used 4JH3-TE I can overhaul and then swap out my current engine.
If I can not find a 4JH3-TE a second option is to find 4JH4-TE to overhaul and then install it.

Another options which may or may not exist is to find a new 4JH4-TE in a third world country. Rumor has it that Yanmar still makes the 4JH4-TE for third world markets.
Any help out there?

I’ve got an old one that was what salesmen defer to as “a running takeout” but it’s in my workshop in Malaysia so bugger all use to you......however there’s an ad on this very forum with 2 4JH4 engines for sale in Australia, here’s a screen shot of the OP [ATTACH]266602

Hi Bright Eyes great idea if you have the tools to tear down a cast iron lawn mower motor. You’ll have to cut the balls lip off boil the block machine the crank set in new big end bearings replace or restore injectors, water pump fuel pump water heater starter alt beer knuckles …
You can buy a drop in Yanmar for $5,200.00 right from Yanmar USA I looked can’t tell where you are. If my Yanmar was tired I have them toss one in a crate. It’s a better motor on fuel. I even have the tools but won’t put the time into them. Aluminum big blocks yup.
Is the reason you need a classic engine is due to fitting?


So if have a machine shop carry on.

Please provide a link to this engine or equivalent at that price in the USA.
