white smoke after stage 1 injectors

[kmoody0507]

i have a 2000 super duty i just installed rebuilt stage 1 single shot injectors from full force diesel an 6 pos chip with tony wildman tunes about 1000 or so miles since the swap my truck now blows white smoke at start an keeps smoking untill warm the smoke smells like raw fuel i took my time when doing the injctors ie checked an cleaned cups tightened everything to spec did i do something wrong? truck never smoked untill after injectors also did new glow plugs gaskets it starts very easy even when cold an runs better than it ever has just smokes alot untill warm any help on where to start would be great.

Does it continue to smoke at all after it warms up? It could be that you have an injector that is sticking and dumping fuel when cold then freeing up once it warms up. Even new stuff can be bad out of the box.

thanks for the reply it seems to clear up after about 10 to 15 mins of running an doesnt smoke after i start to drive it. is there a way to pin point witch injector is causing the smoke without pulling them all

Runs some Rev-X through it, should free that sticky injector/injectors.

[kmoody0507]

ill give that a try but i really dont want to keep running it with the amount of smoke it puts off when cold ive read some stories of washing cyl down an breaking rings an such dont want to ruin the motor over a set of 1100 doller injectors i wouldnt be happy

This is not a 6.0... Stick to something you have a clue about.

When you installed the injectors did you TQ them to spec?

Did you run a straight edge across the top's once you were done?

Did you install new O rings on them along with new coppers?

[kmoody0507]

they came ready to drop in new orings an coppers i did tq them to 120 in lbs i did not put a straight edge them but they all looked even i taped on them with a dead blow an a peice of 2x4 to make sure they were seated lightly. thanks for the replys im starting to think i should have bought new injectors.

[kmoody0507]

im goin to pull it apart tomrow an chech them with a straight edge but could it be a injector stuck open an dumping too much fuel? ive heard really good things about full force diesel injectors an they should go good on them if it turnsout to a injector

Injectors do not "stick" open. You could have a broken nozzle, but if so it would smoke all the time.

I am assuming you have tuning to match the single shot injectors?

Hmm.. I put a set of stage 1's in my 7.3 and I was having the same problems as the OP until I sent rev-x through it.
