>>I filled the radiator and the engine with water this

>> various RPMs and idled in between. I let the engine
>> cool for an hour (not overheated, just time for quick
>> lunch).
>> I was able to purchase a new compression test tool
>> from NAPA today. The left cylinders are #1, #3, #5, &
>> #7.
>> The right side is #2, 4, 6, & 8.
>> Compression test done on #1 twice to make sure. #1 390
>> & 385, #3 450, #5 440, & #7 400. #2 450, #4 440, #6
>> 435, & #8 430. This was with fully charged batteries
>> and all glow plugs removed, and 11 to 13 puffs per
>> cylinder (with the wife rolling her eyes the whole
>> time)(she was the key twister).
>> The military standards are 380 to 400 being the low
>> end.
>> Chevy's standards are 300 being the low end. Both

>> less than 80% of the highest cylinder. 80% of 450
>> (#3) is 360psi which is means my weakest cylinder is
>> 25 psi or so to the better.
>> I did find that the low pressure fuel return line on

>> that I did not have the little clamp properly
>> positioned although this has nothing to do with my
>> smoking problem. I did have a few small bubbles in

>> having freshly filled the engine with water. The cap
>> was installed and there was no pressure or vacuum
>> after the 30 or so minutes of running.
>> The smoke is still there on the left side only and has
>> no odor and is not steam. Perhaps a sluggish lifter
>> or slightly burned exhaust valve. I have two freshly
>> overhauled and pressure tested heads but don't want to
>> do that yet since I don't have the new head bolts
>> ($120) at this time although I did purchase an
