Kind of stumped after this truck, 03 lb7 with 80k on it here for injectors. I always use LDS injectors stock size for this application and also resealed 4 cups while it was apart. put a fass 150 and cat filter head on under the hood. Changed the oil and fired it up. For some reason it's rattling really bad and smoking white, almost like it's out of balance or something.
Cyl 7 is +13 balance rate. Rail pressure is where it should be and no codes. No blowby either.
After that I took it apart and did a full valve adjustment and checked pushrods, they all looked fine and set them to .012. I switched injectors 7 and 5 also for testing.
Engine quieted down some but still smoking white like crazy and cyl7 is +13. I can shut off #7 manually and nothing changes, while if I shut off other injectors it'll cause a major difference. No codes on the dash and oil pressure is spot on. No cups leaking either. Any help ?
Any ideas ?

Just switched the pigtail harnesses from front to rear and then used dielectric grease on the ficm and plugs. It all looks good

Balancer isn't wobbling or doing the normal crank issue. No crank position codes either. Going to try switching an ficm off another truck to try it. Anyone know where you can find the correct thread adapter for a compression test through the glow plugs?

Running a compression test here soon when I get back. No change after changing pigtails and unplugging batteries for a bit. #7 cyl still unresponsive on selecting individual injectors

I took all 8 glow plugs out and turned it over by hand to flush out the coolant before trying to turnover via starter.

I am beginning to think it's electrical in the harness or maybe rubbing in certain spots. Anyone ever ohmed out a harness to test it ?
