Hi all i need some tech help! I have a 2002 50hp tldi (MD50A) that runs and seems ok power wise but has a mis or sneeze at mid to low rpm. At wot it sounds normal. I done a warm compression test and all 3 cylinders are 70psi. Also decarb the pistons and basicly same reading. The motor only has 60 to 70hrs on it according to ECU so I'm thinking it has sat for a long time and rings are seized on piston possibly? I can see some oil bubbling out of bottom injector when idling but I think that's a separate issue.
Would appreciate some help on next steps to possibly diagnose this issue!
Am I correct in thinking the only fail areas on tldi for low compression are rings, head gasket, injectors, spark plug and reeds?
