Solé Diesel marinizes Mitsubishi industrial blocks
I've mapped Solé MINI and SM ranges to a Mitsubishi base engine. A few families use Kubota, Mazda, or Nissan. Order internals as industrial spares.
Solé uses a Mitsubishi base engine (mostly)
Solé Diesel in Spain marinizes Mitsubishi industrial engines across most of its range. The MINI series and the larger SM series use Mitsubishi L-series and S-series blocks.
Internal service parts therefore cross to Mitsubishi part numbers. Industrial and generator channels sell those numbers.
Most Solé engines use Mitsubishi. Three families use other blocks. Get the base engine right before you order.
Solé to base-engine map
| Solé model | Base engine | Cyl |
|---|---|---|
| MINI-17 | Mitsubishi L2E | 2 |
| MINI-26 / MINI-29 | Mitsubishi L3E | 3 |
| MINI-33 | Mitsubishi S3L2 | 3 |
| MINI-44 | Mitsubishi S4L2 | 4 |
| MINI-55 | Mitsubishi S4L2 (turbo) | 4 |
| MINI-62 | Mitsubishi S4Q2 | 4 |
| SM-82 / SM-94 | Mitsubishi S4S (turbo) | 4 |
The exceptions
- SK-60 to Kubota V2403. The SK-series uses Kubota V2403. Internals cross to Kubota V2403 numbers (same block as Beta 60 / Nanni N4.65).
- SM-75 and SM-90 to Mazda. Parts cross to the Mazda base engine.
- SN-85 to Nissan TD27. Internals cross to Nissan TD27 numbers.
If your engine is an SK, SM-75, SM-90, or SN, follow that row.
Find parts for your Solé
- Open your model in the table above.
- Read the base engine line on each page. That line states the base engine and confidence.
- Open the Industrial / tractor part equivalents view. That view lists parts for the base block.
- For raw-water pump impellers and filters, see the charts below.
See the impeller chart.
See the oil filter chart.
See the fuel filter chart.
I've inferred several Mitsubishi block codes from bore, stroke, and displacement fingerprint. Those rows carry the grade likely. If you order, confirm with a Mitsubishi industrial dealer first. See Methodology.
Marine hardware you still buy as Solé
The Solé heat exchanger, raw-water pump, gearbox, and wet exhaust stay Solé or the pump maker.
Internals of L-series and S-series blocks go to Mitsubishi industrial numbers, with three family exceptions.
- SK-60 uses Kubota V2403.
- SM-75 and SM-90 use Mazda.
- SN-85 uses Nissan TD27.
Don't order Mitsubishi pistons for an SK-60.
How to confirm the block
- Use the engine page first, then a dealer or the casting.
- Bore and stroke fingerprints put some rows at likely.
- A Mitsubishi dealer or the casting on the block can raise them to confirmed.
- MINI-44 and MINI-55 share S4L2 (naturally aspirated versus turbo). Internals can be close.
- Marinizing parts stay Solé.
FAQ
Which Solé engines use other blocks?
SK, SM-75, SM-90, and SN are the named exceptions. Read the base engine line.
Where is the industrial book?
I've loaded donor Mitsubishi catalogues as a base engine layer when I've got a clean-text book. Until then, the engine page still names the base engine. You can shop Mitsubishi channels yourself.
