hi guys, i have a 3cylinder 35 . the problem is , when i pull out the dipstick
oil blows out there , is this bad? possible piston rings??
it starts 1st time every time , good oil pressure also no blue smoke.

Are you pulling the dipstick out with it running ? if you are you should never do that..only check your oil with the engine off.

Is the oil filler cap on the valve cover clean and breathes properly.

Does it use any oil?:thumbsup:

 

[whalemeat35]

i dont know if it is using oil as i only have tractor few days now,the breather pipe is clean , the filler cap is located beside injector pump,that also seems fine. im kinda afraid too work it , with it being like that.

cheers

Make sure the motor oil is at a proper level and go use it. Check the oil regularly and note if it falls and by how much if it does fall.:thumbsup:

I've had cars that were almost new and when I left the dipstick out once and drove the car for a day or 2, I found the whole underside of the hood covered in oil.

With the dipstick out you end up with a 1/4" hole in an otherwise sealed system. The internal pressure has to go somewhere and it will seek the path of least resistance.

If I am buying a tractor and it is running at a Idle. I pull the dipstick to check for blowback. I also check the breather tube going out the bottom for excessive smoke or oil blowby. If it shows bad at both places, I pass or figure a ring job at least. Ken Sweet
