    2.5 na smoking

    The smoke is reduced each time I back off the fuel connection, engine is running rough at that point. The block heaters I have not checked either.

    Cracked each injector each one had the same stuttering effect. This engine does not has not used oil when the head was off the cylinders were very clean. Not a high use vehicle either always trying to fix something. Assuming timing of which I am looking for in manual.

    I agree why I was looking thru manual, thank you! Manual does mention improper fuel atomization one cause for smoking. I will do this on weekend marine mechanic point was rebuilt injectors may not work properly I believe. Diesel squirting under pressure is dangerous. Diesel dermatitis is no fun.!

    Injector test I was looking for in shop manual? Each injector has two nuts loosen each with injector loose start motor. Assuming one would stop motor secure injector & go to next one?

    I have been looking for the diesel compression test procedure in manual have not done this & need the tool. The tool cost as much as a set of injectors unless there is a kit that is specific size for 2.5 or 200tdi?

    I was told by marine mechanic to replace the injectors, you are looking at same. They have been rebuilt twice. Would the injector for 2.5 na vary per engine number? & are Britpart injectors okay? I will do the test & see.

    Black and White Smoke 1988 90

    You did not mention mileage? Good time when you remove the head to get rebuilt newer valves & new set of bolts. Assuming the head can be rebuilt my 19J was fine & rebuilt the cylinders were also fine. With the head off it will be obvious if the cylinders are okay. 200 tdi I have quite the...

    Oh no! Not that old fog light question again.

    These wires are all wrapped in a covering until they come up into the cab where you need to read the wiring diagram to see what you have.

    1998 defender pickup rebuild. I need help.

    The back of the cab is held by many brackets braces under the cab those in turn hold the bed in place to the frame. In a standard pickup HC would have some differences? I removed a gas filter from the 84 PU when I got it fitted with a diesel.
