ijector/pump question

I am still trying to get my 7.3 to stop smokeing(white,raw fuel)if I undo the left side rear injector line while its running the smoke clears up a lot but is still smokeing all what seems to come out of the injector line is a pulsing small spirts of fuel what looks like soap sudds.I pushed in the shrader valve on the fuel filter and get no air out off there and I have disconnected the return line and do not see any air bubbles comming out of there.dose this seem right ?

Small spurts of fuel under high pressere...... caution is advised when handling cover with a rag.

Any idea how old the injectors are..... are they grey painted with grey return lines...

Timing could be an issue too....... was the IP replaced.

That indicates that they are likely original, That could mean it's time for IP and Injectors.
The symptoms indicate Injectors.
Both should be replaced at the same time... ~$500.

-Enjoy
