Thanks for the reply, I didn't remove the fuel lines, was able to lift them out of the way gently to get valve cover off. The bad lifter was on the other bank. Its odd that the 2 back cylinder #6&#8 would have glow plugs that won't come out? Is there a hot spot where coolant doesn't travel...

No, I don't have access to that, would be nice, I'm new to diesels, i don't think it's coolant, it smells like diesel and its not loosing coolant,but I guess it could be. When I changed the Injectors, they all had the same soot color on the end, like they all were burning the same, if...

Hi, I'm having an issue with white smoke all the time. Smoke smells like unburnt diesel 2000. Gmc 6.5td. 61k miles. Changed all injectors with new bosch. Checked rocker buttons. It had 1 bad lifter when I bought it, wasn't able to see it run before I bought it. I Was able to replace it with...

Hi: I'm new to diesels, ok thanks. It doesn't smoke for the first five minutes or so. Mike

Yeah, thats the plan if it drys up outside, should try and find so new crush washers for the injectors. Hard to get to #8. Can i do a compression check therw the injector hole? Thanks. Mike

Hi: Thanks for the reply, I tryed pulling it out of the valve cover and it was still smoking. There doesn't seem to be any blow by, I thought there was, but doesn't seem to be any out of the valve cover ,or oil fill tube or the dip stick.Ill have to do that test with the tubing on the...

Hi: I was finally able to work on the truck, cracked the injectors one by one engine would stumble or miss then when i tighten it up would smooth out, smoke looks like a grayish black and smells like diesel,smoke does not go away when cracking injectors. engine sounds ok. It has some smoke...

$35. Amazon, I tried with mirrors for hours but you can't see in there, the Scope has an adjustable light on it, works really well. I don't care if I ever use it again, but I will Mike

Thanks, Some one already remote mounted the PMD. I'll have to try that test, but the motor only has 61k on it, I was thinking I put something together wrong, I didn't have to pull the head to put the lifter in, I went threw the cutout in the head. I was able to get the old lifter out with...

Whats a PMD? It Idles nice, doesn't sound like it wants to stall, it has that diesel sound klanging when running, it fires rite up and idles. I didn't see any moisture in the oil. Haven't looked at the coolant yet for signs of oil in it. It was raining last night so I wasn't able to work...

I'm hoping not, but who knows, the smoke smells more like diesel and not antifreeze. It like when some diesels first start. Thanks. Mike

Smoke Almost like a 2 cycle engine

It's not black, i thought it smelled like diesel, not antifreeze, I think its light bluish, Ill double check tonight. Is there a water a seperator somewhere, im not sure how long it sat. Maybe fuel has some water in it? I put 5 gal of fresh diesel in and some diesel clean. Thanks. Mike
