    • I have been having a real headache signing into this site with FireFox so I tried Chrome and I was able to sign in and respond. The symptoms you describe would be typically not over fueling. Over fueling usually causes black smoke not white smoke. Fuel injectors are high precision made the clearance between plunger and barrel measured in .0000 of an inch not .000 of an inch. If you have taken injectors apart and polished them ect you may have damaged them. Lots of white smoke is most often bad fuel injectors which can be the result of water in your fuel ect scuffing and scratching of the Barrel and plungers. Odds are if you put in a set of decent injectors your problem would disappear. If people turn their EGR valve 180 degrees and use the HotShot secret program https://www.hotshotsecret.com/everyday-diesel-treatment/  and every 6 months https://www.hotshotsecret.com/diesel-extreme/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIk57Q_4aH_gIVii2tBh0LrwB8EAAYASAAEgL60_D_BwE  you wouldn't likely ever have to think about fuel injection issues again. I use HotShot secret and my engine runs so well it kind of shocks me, the diesel treatment raises the Cetane rating of the fuel it makes a big difference and stops a lot of rattle, crack and pop sounds from the engine noise. Our Diesel at the pumps is clean but the quality seems a tad low. 
    • Going to do my best to come buy might have to keep it local. 
    • Pretty simple are pullers. Just google injector puller and you will find loads of pics.   You could have used mine if you were closer but I fear it is hardly worth the effort to get it to you.
    • I do not have such a beast, I was simply hoping to break the grasp and slowly work it upward.  I will try it this way with moderate force but stop after the fear of twisting the injector body, which I expect will be near impossible...?   But now I have said this, it will happen....lol.   I did for a second or tow think of taking clamp off injector and seeing IF the compression would solve the issue but a projectile traveling at the speed of sound is slightly disturbing...but it may happen if the twisting idea doesn't work.  That is if I can't find a puller or picture of this puller so i can make one possibly?  
      This is after all in the beater, not the good car......so I am willing to try far more out of the box ideas......so to speak.
    • You should use a straight pull for a stuck injector, not a twist unless it is the screw in type.
