    Hey all. My beloved 159 started blowing a lot of white smoke a number of weeks ago. After a few laps around the engine bay, I found injector 3 was missing. Took out the injectors and lo, injector 3 was damaged. Got it refurbed, reinstalled and...still rough, still blowing smoke. There is a lack of power in the low range, could that be lack of compression? I was just wondering if anyone could shed any light on possible issues. Here's what I've done so far:

    - EGR is clean
    - DPF is clean
    - MAP sensor is fine
    - Turbo is spinning clean and holding pressure

    No EML, no evidence of burning oil, no oil in the coolant. Smoke lessons somewhat when the engine heats up. My worry is is that the problem is deep in the engine (most likely) and will cost a bomb to fix. Anyone have a similar experience? Any input is appreciated. Cheers.
