Please help 2004 cummins 3500 new injectors white smoke
So I have just installed all new industrial injection 65 over injectors in my 04 cummins 305hp model I installed all new feed tubes also at 37ft pounds so I've been told that cummins self purge so I didn't crack the lines to bleed them but it is pouring white smoke and it's a little rough idle kinda smells like oil but not real bad I'm assuming that's just what went in the injector cylinder during install these are also brand new injectors not remans I'm stumped should I try cracking the lines while it's running to 1. Bleed the line and 2. Figure out which one might be misfiring?

I want to say it's misfiring because it's running rough I haven't cracked the lines yet but could air be making it do that? I've driven it like 15 miles seeing if it would purge and it's just dumping

I called thoroughbred today and they where asking me questions and they were like is there a ticking I thought maybe I needed to go recheck my valve clearances so I never thought of that as an injector symptom but yah it's a stuck open injector I have to go through and figure out which one

Do an injector kill test. Easiest way is with a scanner tool but if not, do it the longer way, unplug one injector wire at a time under the valve cover. Do it to all. If nothing changes, then you ll need to pull one injector line that goes from rail to block at a time, and cap the fuel rail (I built my own cap with a injector line that I salvage from a wrecker and cut the one end and pinched it). Because may also have an injector that is leaking internally under high pressure and leaks through the injector tip.
