Count me in as a Long owner with blow-by problems. This condition began abruptly, and yessss...I was having starting problems and was using ether. The engine sounds like it is missing a little, but there does not seem to be any mingling of fluids, and it smokes some. Any new info?

Do a compression test of each cylinder, the culprit will be obvious.

Best of luck. ....

It's not a happy time that we seem to have developed a resource for helping people deal with misfortune--better than not dealing with it I suppose. There isn't anything new I'm aware of but we'll likely hear more from Phil.

A kind of conclusion that may help prevent further misfortune is that these engines don't tolerate ether and they not be easy to start. I wonder if there's some idea that might make them easier to start? Maybe batteries with higher CCA ratings, bigger battery/started cables would help. I use fuel that is mostly #1-diesel during the coldest parts of winter and #1 starts easier. If it has a timed pre-heat, maybe use multiple pre-heats. Maybe see if a ground path close to the starter motor has lower resistance (there are some other issues here).

I know this kind of musing doesn't help your immediate problem but I imagine we'll hear more specifics as it goes along. Phil's problem sort of sets a precedent and therefore I'd start with a compression test as Murf said. Most any gauge intended for diesel engines works but special fittings may be needed. ....
