Default Lb7 Help Excessive white smoke out dipstick, oil fill and exaust

I am banging my head. Just replaced injectors, had them tested and all were under .5 on the rates looked mint. no oil loss, no coolant loss or backpressure (bubbling), no oil in large turbo lines, clean air filter, new fuel filters on my fass 150, ran compression test on all cylinders the all spec'd at 390-400. help?

sounds to me that you have an issue with one or more of the copper washers that seal the injectors in the cups.

if you are sure the copper washers are ok then try an Italian tune up

also check your PCV lines, clogged or kinked

drive it like you stole it.

these engines run best when under load. running the engine hard and hot every once and a while helps clean up carbon deposits and provide a better seal on the rings and valves. this is a poor mans tune tune up but sometimes necessary.

goggling "Italian tune up" will bring up a lot of info.
