04.5 wont start, think bad injector

Have had hard starting problem with truck for a while. No it wont start at all, cranks but no fire. If i either start it it will run fine just white smokes, i believe i have one or more injectors that are stuck open and it has made a couple quarts of oil which realy makes me think stuck injector. My question is does anyone in central indiana have or have access to tools to check compression and a borascope. I would want to check compression and look in the cylinders to check walls and pistions without pulling the head. Can anybody help me out?

the injectors are your problem if its makeing oil and its probably more then one. they are letting fuel bypass or they are cracked min have let the fuel bypass which doesnt add to oil i would think if its adding to the oil you have some that are cracked. best thing to do is pull them out and inspect and have them tested odds are its 3 or more from my experience and from what mods you have

I would stop running the truck until you get that fixed.
