I just finally got my rebuilt engine back into my 1020 diesel and started it this afternoon.I had a diesel mechanic rebuild the engine with a kit from Maxiforce, which included a new oil pump, a new crankshaft, and a complete kit. I also had the injector pump overhauled and bought new injectors. When I started it for the first time today, it smoked like crazy - it filled my garage so bad that I couldn't see daylight out of my open garage doors!!!! Can this be part of the rings seating? Will it ever get better? The only two things which I know of that could be causing it are (1) I flushed out the fuel tank with boiling water and then added 5 gallons of diesel. I may not have got all of the water out of the tank. or (2) one of the injector connections didn't thread correctly and was leaking a little around the top of the injector. Can anyone help????? I'm thinking of draining the 5 gallons of diesel and refilling the entire tank along with conditioner. I will also remove the injector and ensure that it's installed correctly before I run it again. Thanks for any suggestions!!!
