[zetor3545]

i have found the fault!

but im not happy!

i removed the sump and removed the conrod caps and could move the piston up and down number 1 was nice and stiff in the bore .number 2 is the coward push it up in the bore it will fall down under it own weight. number 3 i have not tried yet.

looks like rings are on the ajenda!

Did you have the valves shut when you tried number 2 ? The best & only way to check compression is with a compression tester.

ye i checked that removed the rocker cover and put both valves shut then i tried it . down she came!!!

i have ordered up rings and head gaskets!
