White smoke @ cold start.

[B.Warning]

Got a e99 with stg 1 single shots and tyrant tunes. When you start it in the mornings it white smokes alot and smells like oil. Once its at operating temp it stops and won't smoke again unless it sits for 5-6hrs. I popped the hood and at start up there's smoke coming from turbo area. Any ideas? No codes, nothing, and runs fine even when cold. Just white smoke.

Thick white smoke or a haze? How cold?

Probably could just be because of cooler temps, but also could be other things. How hard does it start?

The truck fires right off. No hesitation, no long crank, no miss, runs fine. It was doing this when it was 80 degrees out and still is. Temperature doesn't affect it.

[I'd post a pic but beta photobucket blows. I can't get it to work for nothing.

If you want to post it to fb I can grab it and put it here for the guys to see.. just a suggestion.

Here's what it looks like at a cold start. This was taken when it was 60 degrees one morning.

I'd be willing to bet your o rings are shot. Fathers 96 did this. Fuel was leaking into.cylinders when it sat for a few hours.

[WHY NOT]

Our CIH 9350 4wd looks like that when we start it and its cold too. Not sure what the problem is. Runs like normal just a lot of white on start up. Coolant and oil both fine

Injectors don't have but 2k miles on them with brand new o rings. Also replaced injector harness and all the glow plugs while I was in there. It did this before I did the work too.

Same here, coolant is fine. Oil seams to be fine, not real sure cuz it does have a small leak.

I'm thinking its turbo related. O rings on the feed or return side letting oil by. The same white smoke is around the turbo at start up. And come to think of it, it doesn't really clear up at operating temp but more so as the turbo starts spooling. By 4th gear its cleared up.

Bump to top. Anyone know?

Do you all need more info?

By turbo area, do you mean by your up-pipes? You said you see white smoke by turbo area..

 

[littleredstroker]

How's the oil level

I dont think its turbo related.. take off the intake spyder and start it up, see what it does...

this seems like a injector issue.... I understand they are new...

 

[B.Warning]

Oil level is good. Under hood smoke seams to come from the pedestal down pipe area.

What do you mean by intake spider? The 7.3 is the one motor I know jack about.

 

[DEEZUZ]

basically the intake... has boost tube going to it. right in front of turbo. goes to two orange boots that are connected to the heads...

who installed the injectors?

Local big rig shop did the work. Theyve done all work on my semis with great success.
