D239 white smoke - Revisited

Posted by Brad Rackers on October 30, 2002 at 10:40:34 from (65.215.148.254):

OK,
I recently bought an IH574 and although I looked for smoke before I bought it, turns out it smokes like crazy. I've read through most of the messages about smoking diesels and the lack of compression. Although I haven't checked my compression the symptoms certainly point to that being the problem. The question I have is how do I get the compression up? The blow-by is not bad so I'm not sure that the rings are the culprit. What else could it be? I have read things about injectors and aftermarket pistons, but I believe everything in my machine is original.

Any help would be appreciated.
