My truck started smoking some and idling rough so I thought it might be the injectors and I wanted to upgrade to BB's anyway so after changing them out, with a matched set from Russ, the problem was worse. I put the original G's back in and still have the problem but not quite as much smoke.
It's missing and smoking at idle a blueish white, smokes when I shift and when I'm letting off of the pedal or applying light pressure. It doesn't seem to do it when the engine is cold and still at high idle.
There doesn't appear to be any leaks on the return lines and caps
Any thoughts on this, I haven't touched the timing and the motor only has 62,000 miles on it. Thanks Bob

Not doing it while cold with the high idle on leads me to belive you have a timing issue as the cold start advance is also on with the high idle. You might start it cold and unplug the cols start advance and see if it starts smoking.

I would agree with star as far as timing, you mentioned checking the return lines, did you also check the hard lines (had one with a small crack at the ip itself,only evidence was directly under the IP, and dripping out the back of the valley pan....if it was not running so crappy I would not have given it any thought)

I think all the lines are ok. I may just bite the bullet and get a Ferret. You can't have to many tools.
