White Smoke

White Smoke
Ok here we go... I have a 1997 Chevy express cutaway van with a 6.5 turbo diesel. i replaced the two thermostates and got it back up and running but now the van blows white smoke even when the engine is warm. If i rev the engine up and build the heat up it goes away.. but when i let it sit and idle it drifts white smoke again till i rev the engine up then it blows alot of white smoke till it warms up then stops.. im not leaking any coolant or loosing any so im at a loss

i changed the oil this past weekend and got almost 7 quarts out of the engine so im not loosing oil .engine runs great with the exception of the smoke.. so im starting to lean towards an injector.. so might look at replacing them all rather than play around with picking and choosing which one it could be

ok here's another twist... the oil that was put in the engine was 10-30 diesel oil but it calls for 15-40 could i be getting blow-by from wrong oil?

ok something new.. i went to go pickup my new injectors and the truck started like normal and when i let it warm up and started driving it the truck blew white smoke and had no power.. i checked all the fluids before i started it and all was ok. there was pressure in the coolant system and the level was were i left it so still no coolant loss. could i have jumped timing on the fuel injection pump?
