Ok so tractor turned over and started straight away after bleeding it and getting rid of air. It runs without any strange noise but keeps cutting out after a few minutes. Doesn't seem like it is starving fuel, more that it is too much pressure and cuts out.

It is now at TDC ... does anyone have any suggestions what to do?

Tappet or rocker settings off making valves open/ close at incorrect times?

Should I redo compression test?

Are piston rings damaged?
