Chevy Silverado 1995. At the start a lot of smoke. After warming up, the smoke disappears, but sometimes shots are heard. The nozzles are working correctly. Hydraulic lifters are working. I can not find the reason.
First video is cold diesel.
Second video is warm diesel.
 
Run a compression test.

Run a leakdown test. As @Will L. would say.

Disable Injection Pump. Spin engine over and listen for it huffing or otherwise zinging over a low compression hole.

I believe you have bent valves or a broken valve spring. A compression test will not show a broken valve spring because the highest compression hole I had was the one with a broken intake valve spring.

Same shots problem on my engine. Click link and see videos as well as tear down:

 
Might try doing a cold engine compression test and see where that cylinder is at compared to the others, then a hot test too.
Could be such a thing that a lifter has gone haywire.
