As others have stated, you are not working this engine to operating temparature. As far as the injectors, that's a maybe. Even if they are in good working order, it can still happen.

A good tune up is always a great idea, have you set the valve lash lately? Air filter clean?

I work on marine diesel engines and generator sets. A very common complaint is a smoking generator set slobbering out the exahust, goo-ing up the turbocharger compressor housing and the aftercooler air side (if aftercooled) because the boat builder sizes these units for the maximum electrical load and 90 percent of the time a 90kw generator is being operated with 25kw of load.

At 3000 hours you end up having to re sleeve the thing because the cylinder liners are glazed up due to "washing down" with unburned fuel.

You need to run that baby hotter and load it up!
