My neighbor said the injectors are on back order until the end of october. I was wondering if there is any way to make sure that the compression is good other than doing a compression test. My friend said that that to could be the reason for the smoke?

 

could be. only way to test compression is with a tester. but i doubt that is your problem.

 

is a compression test on a diesel different than a gas engine? Where can I find how to do it?

 

need a dieel engine compression gauge, since gassers have alot lower comp rate.

they thread into the glow plug holes.


i know harbor freight has a cheap set that works decent.
