Oil & Fuel TC35DA Dead Cylinder

[Texasmark]

For $4k and loss of usage? I'd swap the injector and do a lot more looking around for a problem. With only 3 injectors, pulling all 3 and doing a compression test isn't all that much effort NAPA probably has a diesel compression test set.

Popping the valve cover yourself and having a look at the valve train performance takes all of half an hour. Having the head reworked after you pull it couldn't be all that much....haven't had one done in quite awhile. Re-assy not that big of a deal.

Course it's your money, your tractor, your call.

Any work on this motor, at this point, will be done by my pro. Beyond my experience now. As you point out, the compression failure maybe less than $4k repair but it痴 a rabbit hole that could be a waste of time and money. I will be talking with the shop tomorrow for more details.

Good luck.
