was helping a friend last night (more just standing around watching him :eek: ) try and figure out which piston cracked on his 'Z. Balances rates indicated that piston 7 was the bad one so we put a scope in the injector hole and think we seen a/the crack. Couldn't quite get the scope in far enough but think we can see the crack.

Side note, what a PITA to pull the #7 injector. Had to pull all the EGR shtuff and move the AC. :(

Balance rates have always been within each other.will not be any egr left after this.

On the balance rate thing... what I meant was that the truck did the same as you - white smoked, rough running, etc. - surely a cracked piston. We were trying to locate which one specifically was cracked or had a hole. So by checking the balance rates we were able see which injector was over compensating and therefore checked that cylinder first. ;)
