>. Am I going to burn up the engine if I continue to run it w/ white exhaust smoke? It sure won't help the engine or the enviroment to run it in this condition. Please have injectors checked and the pump timing checked. Incorrect timing will cause some of the fuel to remain unburned and will cause white smoke.Low compression will also cause white smoke. Water usually cannot enter the cylinder while the engine is running. If it is, you'll be adding water like crazy to the radiator. >Is it probably just a head gasket that needs fixed? Not likely. A blown gasket while running would pressurize the radiator with combustion gases since combustion pressure is many times higher than that of the coolant system. > I think it smokes less the hotter the engine get but I'm not sure. Good possibility since the hotter a diesel runs the better the fuel will burn. Remember diesels run off heat created from compression. Heat is what egnites the fuel. Diesel Dan O-----[o {]
