Hydraulicked Safari In Christchurch

[the quadfather]

Hi there ladies and gents. Just wondered if anyone knew the best place to take my '93 TD42T in Christchurch, that i hydraulicked on friday. I managed to get the water out of it, changed the oil and filters and it runs but it seems one cylinder is putting out a small cloud of white smoke when it starts up. Not running quite as it should and the rev counter is acting funny at idle aswell. If any body has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance, Jim.

sounds like a bent rod in one cylinder or more had a mate do this he fixed it in the truck. compression test first to find problem child then head off sump off remove piston and rod replace with td27 rod as they are the same and easier to come by or td42 rod if you have/can find one, reassemble and worked a treat.
