Ok, here are the sypmtoms: (I've been told the IP is bad, what do you think?)
When the cold engine first starts, it smokes A LOT of really light blue (almost white) smoke, and feels like one or more of the cylinders is not firing right. Then it clears out a bit, and every couple seconds you can feel a miss directly followed by a puff of smoke.
Then it finally clears out almost totally at idle (seems to have a very light haze constantly), but when it reaches s certain RPM, probably around 2,800 to 3,000 (no tach in a van), it starts missing and puffing smoke. Also, the exhaust kind of burns your eyes. I replaced all 8 glow plugs, and now it starts much better, but still lots of smoke on start-up. Other than that, runs fine, no blow by or burning oil.
