    In tank unit only few years old- removed anyway and checked. No issues. All rubber hoses replaced. Steel lines were smoked with emissions tester. Nothing.

    97 k2500- Engine idles/runs rough, blue smoke, oil soaked intake

    We watched the oil filler and it was just a steady stream of vapors. Pretty sure now its the EXHAUST valve because the compressed air came out of the EXHAUST manifold with the cylinder at TDC and the rockers "loose". Agreed- either way head must come off. Pretty sure injectors are original...

    97 k2500- Engine idles/runs rough, blue smoke, oil soaked intake

    UPDATE: Comp check done. #2- 350 psi, #4- ZERO, #6- 320 psi... Followed that with the compressed air test. Put air to the cylinders with valves at "tdc". Air gets past the exhaust valve on #4 at TDC. All valves moving normally while hitting the starter, so broken springs seem unlikely...

    97 k2500- Engine idles/runs rough, blue smoke, oil soaked intake

    Gonna ck compression tomorrow, if ok add new injector, watch valve train and not hook up CDR or Turbo to intake. Buddy thinks turbo might be shot. It's a GM8 and it does actually sound like a Holeset on takeoff. Very loud.

    97 k2500- Engine idles/runs rough, blue smoke, oil soaked intake

    I couldn't turn it over and watch- 1 man show today... CDR is suspect, but there is SO much oil it is hard to find initial culprit. CDR is oil soaked, turbo is oil soaked... intake... eGAD

    Problem: Explain your problem in concise language (ie: Cranks but won’t fire). Will start, run, and drive. Feels like it is down a cylinder. Blue smoke when runningDemographics: tell us about your truck and your ambient conditions: - Year: 97 - Truck model and class k2500 long bed -...

    Looking for MPG, trade offs, investments, and what you net in the end

    MPG improvement is hard to quantify because with more power comes more use of said power. When my sub went from being a total terd to something that surprised a few folks, my MPGs basically stayed the same. That said, it's a good thing, as it would have been less if I romped it frequently...
