I suffered a Run away diesel

Here we go again.....
Drive the 40 minute home, was great until the last 5 minutes when I came off the motorway. Clouds of white smoke again.
Here is a video link to see while it is idling.

 
That’s a downer, did you look at the cam lobes and followers for flat spots when it was stripped that could be quite noisy , has it got some side covers you can remove to look at some of the lobes,
 
I was going to remove all the followers but then I needed it done asap so skipped it. Probably a silly idea as that will be head off again. Although the smoke wouldn't come and go from followers... Would it.......?

Finally got my dial gauge rigged up to check the FIP lift timing.
It is spot on 1.4mm of lift at TDC.
So it must be either the injectors or the pump. I feel if it was the cam lobes it possibly wouldn't have just happened.
I'll get the 4 injectors sent off to diesel bob when I have the pennies...... :-(
