Solé Diesel engines are mostly marinized Mitsubishi blocks — buy the industrial part

Solé Diesel's MINI and SM ranges are marinized Mitsubishi industrial engines (with a few Kubota, Mazda and Nissan exceptions). Use the map to source internal parts as cheaper Mitsubishi spares.

Solé = Mitsubishi (mostly)

Spain's Solé Diesel marinizes Mitsubishi industrial engines across most of its range — the MINI series and the larger SM series are Mitsubishi L- and S-series blocks. Internal service parts therefore cross to Mitsubishi part numbers, sold through industrial and generator channels. But Solé is not a pure-Mitsubishi shop: three families are exceptions, and getting the donor right matters before you order.

The exceptions — do not assume Mitsubishi

Its internals cross to Kubota V2403 numbers (same block as the Beta 60 / Nanni N4.65).

marinized Mazda automotive diesel blocks. Parts cross to the Mazda base engine, not Mitsubishi.

to Nissan TD27 numbers.

If your engine is an SK, SM-75/90 or SN, ignore the "Mitsubishi" assumption and follow the correct donor above.

Find your Solé's parts

Open your model above; the base-engine line on each page states the donor and confidence, and the "Industrial / tractor part equivalents" view lists the base block's parts. For raw-water pump impellers and filters, see the impeller, oil filter and fuel filter charts.

Several Mitsubishi block codes above are inferred from the engine's bore/stroke and displacement "fingerprint" and are graded likely — confirm against a Mitsubishi industrial dealer before ordering. See our Methodology.
