Lion Engine – other nonroad diesel engines: four-cylinder LN490DZL-series units from 20 to 36 kW, wastegate turbocharger, Interim Tier 4, model years 2011/2012
Lion Engine is a Chinese maker of small and medium diesel engines, producing four-cylinder units for construction machinery, farm machinery and generator sets, listed in the US Environmental Protection Agency's certification data. This page gathers LN490DZL-series models that the register could not assign to a named series: LN490DZL and the variants LN490DZL-1, LN490DZL-2 and LN490DZL-3.

The register lists here 4 versions with 20 to 36 kW rated output at a constant 1,800 rpm, built as four-cylinder engines with 90 mm bore and 105 mm stroke each, all with a wastegate turbocharger and direct injection. The fuel entered is low-sulphur diesel at 300 to 500 ppm sulphur content, the emission level is Interim Tier 4, the model years are 2011 and 2012. Maximum torque ranges from 106.1 to 191 Nm, also at 1,800 rpm.
Engines of this power class between 19 and 37 kW with turbocharging suit small wheel loaders, compact excavators and larger generator sets, where a four-cylinder layout offers smoother running and higher output per litre than single-cylinder engines. Lion Engine appears here alongside numerous other Chinese engine makers as a supplier to OEM machinery builders.
On a used example, what matters is the condition of the turbocharger and charge-air ducting, compression per cylinder, the tightness of the cylinder-head gasket and the model year checked against the Interim Tier 4 certification. Spare parts such as pistons, turbochargers and injection pumps are available through the general trade for Chinese diesel engines.
