welcome ....... have you been able to identify the differences between the 10 and the 13 engine variants? ...
also beware that some engine manufacturers have specific spec.s for engine blocks for specific uses ...
a motor from a mower, say, may well be very different to an exc. block ... different castings/lugs/bosses/mounts/inj. pump/etc.

I downloaded a manual for both engines ......the 103-10 is just under 1 litre and the 103-13 is 1.3 litres .... the same block on the out side ....I just cant find any 103-10 engines

Blocks could be the same but any ancillarys and the sump could be different I guess including the flywheel. But anything is possible with time and the right tools and equipment.

It’s what I do!
In Yanmar terms a 3tnv70 looks very similar to a 3tnv76 and uses a lot of the same parts but the are different in length,

You might find the 103-13 block is a bit taller. Mounts and crank centre line will be the same

I went throughly exacting this 103-10 to 103-13 comparison as I bought a Jcb 801 with a broken crank.

It’s a common problem apparently.

The 103-13 gets it’s bigger capacity from having a longer stroke so is taller.

I think I have now acquired enough bits to put a good 103-10 together but not got around to doing it.

What exactly is wrong with the ‘ blown up’ engine you have.?

I got my digger engine from a Holman compressor of eBay for about £600. I think it’s a c20 but do some research as they also come fitted with a kubota engine.

Its been ran low of oil, so has crank damage ........but after much instigation , I just cant get spares for that engine (bottom end anyway) , and I've had a re-think ......and now decided that the best digger for me is a micro digger .....like a Kubota k008
