white smoke, not oil or coolant

Billemery 6 May 2005 22:54:29
 now im really confused, my trusty 87 300td diesel wagon smokes profusely in
the morning when it first starts. smells like fuel burning-like it's running
too rich.
like some gasket in the injection pump is going out
maybe ?

 Diesels don't run too rich.

If this engine has done 250K miles or more I suspect incomplete
combustion due to low compression; have the engine's compression tested.
Then you'll know for sure that it needs an overhaul, or not.

 My '87 does the same thing. Does it more in cold weather, does it less when
using the block heater.
I think the valve stem seals are leaking lube oil and the combination diesel
and lube oil is producing the white smoke.
Or it could be as T.G. suggests-low compression. I haven't checked the
compression 'cause I'm not concerned about the smoke on starting since the
car has 270K miles and runs just fine otherwise.

If it runs just fine, then it isn't low compression.
