Default Oil Covered Injectors

I just installed stage 1 injectors in and #4, 5, & 6 injectors were coverd in oil. The truck hurls out white or light blue smoke at high rpm. What could be the problem?

It only has 149,000 miles on it. The truck smoked the same before the new injectors.

white or blue smoke is unburned fuel. if you bump your timing it allows the fuel to inter earlier allowing for a longer and fuller burn of the fuel. my truck puffs black down low and starts sputtering white at high rpm's, i'm bumping the timing hopefully when i get my lift pump back in. gonna do 16.5 for the timing. as for the injectors, i know i've read from some expierenced guys that oil on these injectors isn't that big of a deal. it's just part of the beast

Are the injectors covered in engine oil or fuel? If oil, you have a problem beyond your injectors. If fuel, they could be fouled and not flowing properly. Are they new? Pull them and have them pop tested. That will at least show if they are flowing properly.
