Driving the truck today and started to hear what sounded like and exhaust leak on the driver side manifold or uppipe. Went to an event called tha kshiving burnouts and started to do one. White smoke started pouring out from around the hood(smoke smelled like burning oil). Checked under the hood and it smells like fuel. Also. All injector balance rates were near zero except cyl 8 said 3.1. Any ideas?
Strange knock?

I told him the white smoke might be from the water meth kit that was just installed? Idk I don't play with them.
Also. It got worse as the day went on., which is why I thought I pushed the exhaust manifold gasket or uppipe gasket. The more o think about it o feel like an injector somehow got pushed out of the head. That would explain the noise, the fuel smell, and maybe the smoke if it was just pushing the fuel back out.
I just worked on an Lmm with these symptoms.....owner thought it was a manifold gasket. Turned out the copper sealing washer on the injector wasn't doing its job lol. The injector sucked to pull out cause it was so carboned up
if the injector and copper washer look ok, do a compression test, just because I regret not doing this on the truck I am working on now
sounds kinda like when i had an injector hold down loosen up on me!
only difference i had alot of blowby coming out the vent and oil cap

I hope thats all it is. I have a truck I can drive for the next couple days until I can meet up with Chris and have him take a look at it. By the time I get out of work its dark and I dont have a garage at my house. I drove it home yesterday but don't want to run it until I've got an idea what it is.
