wd 45 smoking

[Anonymous-0]

i bought a wd45 and the guy said it smoked a little well i think it smokes quiet a bit and is pumping oil out of the no 3 cylinder i was just wondering if it might be a stuck ring i believe the tractor has set a while and is there an easy fix for it if thats the problem thanks Dave

Could be rins or valve seals? I'd run a compression test on it to see. Check it dry first then put a tablespoon of oil in the second time and see if the compression comes up,if it does it's rings. I would also check it against the other cyls.

Heres how I deal with that type of problem. Fill all the cylinders with tranny fluid. Then walk away from it for a day or 2. Pull all the plugs out and spin it over to clear out the tranny fluid. Start it up and run it and if you can work it hard for an hour or so. If it then clears up it was a stuck ring or valve if it doesn't then it time to open it up and rebuild it
