Machine has 3 cylinder Perkins, under 500 hours, out of a ASV PT 30, went out on rent and came back with a miss that mostly went away when warm. Some blue smoke when cold, the renters say no one used ether, it wasn't rolled, no gas in diesel, didn't get water into motor- I'm at a loss. Tear down revealed one bent rod with rest of engine like new. I have same engine in another machine with 3k trouble free hours. Would welcome any comments on how this could have happened, thanks in advance!
