[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 5886, member: 307"] If compression is good, and oil consumption is minimal, I'd bet on injectors. They can make a otherwise good engine run and smoke like a piece of junk. Our 3208 Cat at 8800 hours, smoked badly out of one bank / side of the v8 engine even when warm, (dual exhaust). We pulled the injectors and tested them, one was shot, some were ok to so so. Do to the higher hours I was skeptical about this being the cure. I put 4 new injectors in the “smoky” bank of the engine and took the best of the others and installed them in the “clean” bank. The end result was now the clean bank now appeared to be the “smoky” side duing warm up. Once the engine came up to operating temp both looked to burn clean now, but it was very obvious during warm up, but now the other side. So I sprang for 4 more injectors the next time the log loader came into the shop, now it run like a engine with 1/2 its hours. Regards Ken [/QUOTE]
