smokie starts
my 93 factory idi turbo sends out a fair cloud of blue smoke when starting. It smells alot like diesel. Would this be a sign of a leeky injector? The truck also uses alot of oil, I cleaned the cdr, but no change, it looks like it is the original with 330,000 km on the motor. I ordered a new cdr so I hope that this slows the oil useage. But I fear that the motor may be just worn out.
Does a worn engine use oil like a gas on does?

Does it start "rough" if so then glow plugs might be going south. And what do you consider a lot of oil? Diesels are noted to use oil especially older ones like ours. Mine uses around 1-2 qts per oil change.

Could be valve seals smoking at start up this does not usually use a lot of oil though.
Have you cleaned your cdr every couple oil changes?
I'm thinking your around 200,000 miles properly maintained you should have a few more good miles to go.

If your using (not leaking) 3-4 gallons of oil between normal changes you have much much deeper problems than injectors or glow plugs.
Unless you go a hundred thousand miles between oil changes.

I wouldn't think so but not sure. That is about the only way it can get in the intake unless it is super wore out.
It will get enough to cause the rear two cylinders problems though.

I'm thinking multiple issues.
Take an awful lot of CC pressure to blow that much oil up the CDR.
But thats a guess from me, I don't have much experience with the IH/Ford.

Yea I know but from what I gather everything working like it should it heats the rear cylinders more than the others. Seems like I read one time that was one of the problems associated with head gasket failures in the na engines. I'm with you it seems like a lot of oil.

Want to run, Heck I did run!
My moms dad is missing half his face from a clutch disc on a run away, he was lucky to have lived from the injury let alone the medical technologies at the time.
I grew up seeing that face, still do in my mind!

I jumped in the cab to try to shut it down when the rpm started climbing when I couldn't killit I decided I was in the safest place.
Saw a 671 that a guy laid over one time and didn't kill it by the time I got there I decided it wasn't worth trying to get to the emergency kill on it.
