Tractor Repair: long deisal, breather element, compression test

Question

Answer

  Hello,

  If the engine is blowing oil out of the breather, there is excessive blow by, caused by worn rings and cylinders, or a cracked or burnt piston.  Do a compression test to see which cylinders are bad.  Check the condition of the breather element if it has one.
