White Smoke, P1211, Low Compression in One Cylinder, Loss of Power
I had white smoke, P1211 code, low compression (185-180 lbs.) in one cylinder and a loss of power.
Will one or more injectors which are not properly atomizing fuel cause these symptoms?
Can an injector which is not atomizing fuel burn a hole in a piston?
Instead of that can it instead burn a valve so that it does not seat properly?
Can an injector which is not atomizing fuel properly wash down a cylinder such that the piston rings score the cylinder walls?
Can an injector which is not atomizing fuel properly add fuel to the crankcase oil?
Would a cracked injector nozzle cause these symptoms?
I want to understand. I know I need to at least pull an injector, then the head on the low compression cylinder side, then likely the engine.

dmueller71 here my low compression thread:

If you have an FSeries truck the compression test will be much easier for you to do. Use a bump switch and keep the battery charger hooked up to your batteries while spinning the engine with all glow plugs out and with the compression tester adapter in the glow plug hole of the cylinder you are testing.
