I was always told that they generally last twice as long as a petrol/gas engine so you should have had at least twice as many hours a you have now.Can you do a wet test? take a pressure reading, then take a plug out and squirt in some oil then re-check the compression. If it goes up, the rings/bore is worn, if not it should be the valves.</blockquote>
