[QUOTE="bigcountrysg, post: 19818, member: 426"] Ok here is what is going on. Thursday it broke down on my way to work. I got it towed home after work. Engine seemed to be hydro-locked. But after sitting a few hours here at my house it started to turn over and then fired up. Smoking bad and missing. At about 1500 rpms it starts making a popping sound. I am getting heavy grey smoke that you can tell is very raw diesel smell in it. I did the cylinder contribution test I get cylinder 5 failed. I got a new injector O-ring kit. I just put in stage 1 single shots. It has been running great for about a month since I put the injectors in. I did all 8 injectors. Also it seems like I am getting a lot of crank case ventalation. It is even coming out of the oil dipstick tube. I am gonna pull the number 5 injector tomorrow. But I am looking for input on any other possibilities. Also before it died it was smoking grey real bad. I am leaning towards the O-rings or the injector. [/QUOTE]
