I'm having trouble trying to get more fuel to the motor, previous post a few guys said I need gauges and we'll I've gotten my data. So my ve pump set up is fuel screw turned in a little, smoke screw flush with jam nut, star wheel stock ( 3 1/3 from bottom out). Performance fuel pin and 3200 governor spring. WOT I almost hit 20 lbs of boost. I'm holding good fuel pressure and EGT's don't go over 1200 but do climb quickly. Exhaust white haze's at idle and more at WOT. it use to not white haze's at idle but I guess it does when I feels like. I still seem to have a fuel restriction. Fuel filter was just replaced. It can only seem like 1 of 2 options. Either injectors are incorrect size or small or something is wrong with my ve pump. Where do I go from here? Any test I can do to the injectors ? Could it possibly be something with timing?

More timing could help.

My white crew cab hazed a bit at idle after a pump rebuild and it was replaced a little too retarded.
It cleared it up when the pump was pushed a little closer to the head to raise the timing a little.

Patrick, you say you have the smoke screw flush with the jam nut... do you mean you screwed it down all the way (clockwise)? You are supposed to turn it out (counter clockwise) till it is flush with the inside of the afc housing.

I did try that and it made no difference, I swore I read clock wise = more smoke. Anyways I have a new problem on my hands now. I went to take the truck for a drive after work and noticed the motor was knocking in gear and had a funky smell to the exhaust. Turns out I have a milk shake in the oil and chocolate syrup in the over flow tank. Pulled the truck back up the drive and called it a night

I was quotoed 1250 for head gasket and 4500 for over haul.. does that sound about right?

I would look into a complete, ready to run 12V motor replacement.
If the motor is knocking, filled with milkshake for a lube and the injection pump is giving you problems, there is not much left that is in good shape to work with.
You should be able to find a decent running motor for quite a but less than that rebuild price. If you can't, PM and we can look at shipping out one of the 12V motors I have in my shop to TX..
