neither of those sound pretty 
are there ways to determine whether either of these are the case?

going back to the relays... if one of these were thought to be faulty, would this simulate the "heavy breathing"?
was having a look at these just now and i'm not sure how to test these. Example of one of them below and the meter i have:
what do i stick where?
Does it have to be beer glass? Is a wine glass not as effective??
thought this glass was appropriate...no seperation

unfortunately they put this thing together i don't think i can get to the starter to remove it.
Even if i unbolt the exhaust mani there seems to be another bracket for the exhaust further down which I can't get to

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better

Ok good job, it has lots of crankcase pressure, hence the smoke from rocker area, valves and rockers all working well, have you got an oil can? It’s looking like piston rings and or bores, in its present condition, squirt some oil down the inlet manifold, only a small amount as we don’t want bent rods as well! It may raise the compression enough to start! If so it’s engine out to get the sump off!

It’s the white sock/sandal combo I reckon - your digger has potentially lost all respect for you sadly…

I personally favour the squirt into the empty injector ports ... you know it's going where you want it to be ...

It does look like quite a lot of exhaust gas escaping from somewhere near the pushrods... The engine is cold though so maybe once up to temperature would seal up a bit better? I would have thought that you could at least get it started with a good squirt of easy start as the engine is turning over. Getting the engine running would reveal more, if it's possible!

Maybe easy start is why it’s like it is! And then the can ran out

Can’t remember if you said the glow plugs work?

Bent valve, jump in timing
If it was a car you'd be suspecting a bodged timing belt change (hoping for a tooth out but expecting the crank pulley to have been accidentally loosened)
Still wonder if an algael growth is bunging up the pump internals and affecting the pump timing

Unfortunately the engine is put in to the chassis which comprises the counterweight, and is put in basically complete.

Yes your probably right! Dont use easy start... but it would be very helpful to see the engine running.Maybe easy start is why it’s like it is! And then the can ran out

I agree a running 1 and a half cylinder Smokey engine is better than not at all

bitch indeed. Taken off all the panels that are removeable. But that back yellow part of the machine is part of the chassis. Awfully inconvenient.No
exhaust /starter looks a bitch
I don't have an oil can, just a bottle of engine oil i used before. pour oil into the inlet I had my hand over before?
quite possiblyyea maybe more confident with this instead, like i did before. How much is little bit....cap of oil in each injector, or half..?I personally favour the squirt into the empty injector ports ... you know it's going where you want it to be ...
yea I wish i could mate, but literally haven't got it to start in months since I managed to move it and park it up there. Hasn't budged since.
well i've never had to use easy start on it before. I've only tried it once recently to try start it, and the engineer that came down also gave some squirts to attempt to get her going.Maybe easy start is why it’s like it is! And then the can ran out
Yes. That is, I know they are working plugs. They are new, and I also tested them on a battery, and they glow up red.
However, (i mentioned this in previous posts) few weeks back I removed them from their seats but left them connected and couldn't get them to glow up. I wasn't sure if It was because I wasn't grounding them properly - but I previously was able to get them to glow up while connected when me and the old man had a go.
I didn't look further into it because the engineer said in this weather it shouldn't even really need plugs. Was a scorcher that day also.

Ok take a bit of w electrical wire, long enough to reach the battery positive and one glow plug, twist the wire around the thread on the top of the glow plug, tip half a cap of oil in the manifold, put the wire on the battery pos for 20 seconds, hand over inlet, try and start!

okay tested glow plugs again they defintely work. Tested with battery, tested with scrap cable and tested whilst connected to machine and working every time (i must not have been properly grounding it last time).
did this, oil in, hand over intake.... heres the results
