86 6.2 smokes a lot and sputters under acceleration and at idle
got an 86 k5 with 6.2 and it starts really easy just runs reall choppy and puffs out quite a bit of white smoke and doesnt go away, havent checked the glow plugs or anything and its misses or sputters under moderate acceleration and high rpms had this truck a week and its my first diesel has 175k miles on it, any ideas?

it smokes quite a bit at startup but once it gets warmed up its not so bad but still does a little and it doesnt smell like coolant just like raw fuel. And the truck runs at about 150 F when its fully warmed up. i notice that is smokes mainly when i let off the throttle while driving and its got true dual exhaust and both sides smoke

the oil didnt have any water in it that i could tell when i changed it which was saturday and it doesnt leak or use any oil that i could tell. but i will check the coolant level tomorrow after duty if i get a chance

what about advancing the injection pump a little bit? not sure how this could have got out of time at all, i looked and the marks lined up but maybe the chain stretched. like i said im new to diesel and it comes out of both exhaust pipes so i hope both head gaskets arent bad
