pullin the head
i have started to pull the head on the passenger side because it had a minor knock and it was puffin blue smoke, i have pulled the injection pump, the manifold, and almost have the head off. my question is what could be causing it? it didnt have any bent push rods, so maybe bent valve or flat lifter? any help is apreciated. thanks

If your doing one side do both heads........ have them checked over for condition. You will need new head gaskets, bolts and valley pan......
Note to pull the head on pax side... you will be required to hold the push rods up to clear the A/C box ....... same going back in.
Check this out if you have not already........

they stretch and won't torque down correctly. both head gaskets and the intake gasket is 150 bucks here in houston. don't know about the bolts.

Have you serviced the CDR? If not, that can easily cause the blue smoke part of your problem. When you look down into the intake mainfold, is there a lot of oil residue?
I agree that the knock could be an injector. Have you been running any fuel additive?
Diesels are so high on compression that some blow-by is inevitable...
