Hello everyone,
My zetor 4718 started spewing out oil from the exhaust today while doing some log splitting. It has been burning about a liter of oil every 10-20 engine hours for the past 20+ years. I wonder if it is suffering from the piston rings failure as it only has one cylinder affected plus a little bit of blow-by. The cylinder walls are worn as well ( no cross hatches ) and has a bit of a lip at the top. Or could it be the valve seals? Don’t want to spend too much money on it as all it does is log splitting, tedding and loading manure. Thanks for any advices.
