Toomanytoys84 Aaron Senior Member Member Jul 17, 2018 #2 1400 hours is quite a large amount on that engine to me. I'd say rings are shot.
CRF6179 Goofologist Senior Member Member Jul 17, 2018 #3 1400 hrs. on an Intek! It doesn't owe anybody anything. Rick
chieffan Tractorologist Senior Member Member Jul 20, 2018 #4 Intek engines were 500 - 800 hour engines. Your ready for replacement or at least a major overhaul.
