Bellowing black smoke and missing

It ain't so bad. Four or five 1/2" incisions. By the time the nerve block wears off eight hours later it doesn't matter. A few weeks in the sling, a few months of non-painful PT and you WILL be better than new.

That would be nice if it went that easy....

Must be nice, nerve blocks don't work on me. I felt EVERYTHING when I had my carpal tunnel surgery done. To top it off, 10 weeks later and my hands virtually un useable.

Not good!

Must be the anesthesiologist. The nerve block was done before being put under general anesthesia for the shoulder repair. They want you motionless while they scope you and do the ol' snip and tuck!

Finally removed all 8 injectors no stuck or fouled nozzles or broken springs etc. however injector #5 maybe leaking fuel as that
pre-chamber is wet, will be doing compression test later today or tomorrow....

#5 is not alive! That there may just be your culprit. How did you ascertain that none of the injectors were stuck or nozzles fouled? The needle being off the seat even .001" will leak and not allow the internal pressure to build until it "pops" and shoots a high-pressure burst of atomized diesel into the prechamber. I would swap out the #5 injector for a known good one and then test drive and see if the black smoking abates and the idle miss disappears.

I did visual inspection and disassembled each injector to see condition of needle/seat, I expected to see something but did not however the nozzle body is stuck inside #5 injector housing. I will check for internal body cracks on #5 or just replace the whole injector, install all new nozzles pop test & install.

#5 precombustion chamber being wet is a smoking gun (pun intended) that that injector was most limely amiss (another). Now, after changing it out, if your symptoms persist, pull it and inspect the chamber again. If it's still wet, start thinking IP.

That's my train of thought, thanks........

I would wait on the compression test, IMO.
