92 John deere 425
Started her up this afternoon heard a snap and lost compression on the right cylinder. Pulled the valve cover and rockers aren't moving but left side has loads of compression? What could be the cause??

Plastic cam gears are a known failure point on certain years and models of the Kawasaki engines used in Deeres. Hopefully that snap wasn't piston hitting a valve.

My JD 285 had the plastic cam gear fail. It was when starting the engine (engine failed to start). Mine lost 7 teeth in row on the plastic cam gear, so the cam was no longer rotating when I cranked the engine. IIRC these engines are ones the valves do not hit the pistons.
