the gasket may even have a bit blown out so its easy to see .Pushrod hole maybe filled with carbon and stuck to push rod.be sure to cut the oil filer to check for bearing damage
Better look again unless it's some super rare variantNo glow plugs on this motor
I did not see an eyelet in the gasketif its a 3024 engine head gasket blows between 1-2 cylinder head gaskets were common failure at one point. They generally keep running.......but will fill the engine with carbon eventually causing bearing failure. if the problem is not addressed. will start hard have more smoke less power and often runs on 3cyl. a new updated gasket is now available. If you open the rear door and view the engine on the LH side at the rear of the corner of the cylinder head. if you see a eyelet with a brass inset you have the updated gasket............not that it cant blow...but its a much more reliable part.
you are correct and I am a dumb ass. i
either a bad head gasket, burnt valve, hole in piston or seized or broken rings.Good morning,

The front glow plug was wet when removed.
That or he's going to need a rebuild kit!my money is on a blown head gasket
did the engine knock? think your going to be pulling that engine. typically a bent rod will not reach TDC and will cause a misfire. there are some pretty good aftermarket complete rebuild kits out there. with every thing you need you wont get a connecting rod though.I used one of these kits several years ago and was pretty impressed. everything down to o rings gaskets seals etc etcHead is off, front piston is not coming to the top of the block, stops about 3/16" from the top. Bent rod?
If you have adequate lfting capacity, snatch everything in one lump and separate the pumps from the engine afterwards.There was no loud knock, this is my first skid steer so.. I lifted the cab, will I need to pull the hydraulics or will the engine separate?
