Unhappy Blue smoke While idling

I have a 92 7.3L f250 with 345,000kms and it smokes blue out the back
it helped a bit when I changed the fuelfilter,oil and oilfilter but still smokes injectors never changed and I am not to sure about the Injector pump. Also there is no tail pipe on it from the previous owner not sure if this would be some cause of the problem, It runs strong and has power just smokes blue

Well overdue for some fuel system service for sure......

Are the injection return lines and injectors grey painted.......

Timing would be considered if blue smoke smells like fuel, oil if it smells like oil.

With that mileage the injectors could be firing too early due to being worn and a worn IP .

Not any sense to retime ...if they are original as there will be too many varying pressures on the injectors now.

Only time to retime an engine is when new IP and injectors are installed.....
