Ok guys, We has the motor out and did a pretty sizable reseal on most everything we could get to. Added many of the necessary mods and upgrades but for the most part we just reupped the foundation of the motor. Only “performance” part would be the T500 but with regular injectors, it’s not doing much yet.
We got her back in yesterday and she started up fairly quickly, running a little rough at idle but give it gas and it runs pretty well (in Park, nothing on the road yet). I expected this.
What I didn’t expect is to see fuel leaking out of the exhaust manifold on the DS. Leaking from one bolt that we had to put a helicoil in and then it’s leaking from the manifold/uppipe connection. Seems to be pretty clean fuel.
And shes smoking, pretty steady but not horrible.
What do you guys think it is? Stuck injector? We had them all out and put new orings on.
Thanks Nate, we just pulled the DS and nothing really off except the copper washer has a little Knick in it. Injectors were fine before new orings. Think it would go bad just like that?
Well we pulled the DS bank of injectors out and reinstalled/reinspected them. Nothing alarming and we are back to it running again albeit with a little smoke. It’s got a blueish tiny to it.
Just put the code reader on and it’s not giving us anything. Truck revs fine, just smoking.

Put a fresh washer on that. They seal when torqued.
As I understand it, the air flows through the intake turbine, down into the plenums then to the cylinders, up the uppipes and out through the exhaust turbine etc.
if that’s true (I’d love confirmation) then if the intake turbine is leaking, it’s sending an oily air into my cylinders, hence the smoke and oily leaks in the manifold area.
