530CK smoking

[hudman]

I have a 530CK diesel about 1966 vintage with the 188 motor. It will start with no problem, but puts out a lot of gray/blue smoke. I replaced the injectors. This was an improvement, but there is still a smoke issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Take the air intake hose off and see if it still smokes.

If the smoke continues blue grey after warming
up and does not clear up. I would check the
pump timing, compression test, and see how much
blow by from the breather tube. Then I would
decide where to go from there.

Does it continue to smoke after it is warmed up. In cold weather those engines will smoke a while until they get warmed up. If it smokes after you are working it and it is not under a pull, there may be a problem somewhere.

Thanks all for the imput. I tried removing the hose to intake manifold, no obvious change. Smoking continues even after warm-up. There is black liquid dripping from the exhaust, I'm guessing unspent fuel?
Where do I go from here?

Cover up the radiator and get it up to temp.

what is the black liquid coming out of the exhaust?

probably wet stacking from tooo much fuel from a flooding injector?? do you trust the repairman ?-- or water?,, what is going on with the radiator ..... Pull th valve cover and check the clearances ,...

Have you figured out what the problem is? When you do please let me know. Ive got the same problem I rebuilt the motor,sent pump and injectors out to get rebuilt, moved timing all over and still the same thing.

I haven't figured out what's the cause, but the symptoms are excessive blue/gray smoke and what I think is unburned fuel coming out of the exhaust. The black oily liquid dripping from the exhaust pipe has me a little more concerned than the smoke, but I would sure like to know what's the problem. I have tried all of the suggestions the forum has offered, but still no change. I hate to run it as it is, but I need it to dig out of the heavy snow we've been having.
