Good advice for narrowing down bad injectors!! Just be careful of spraying
diesel on hot exhaust manifolds.
How do you do a compression test with the injector removed?
I have a compression test gauge that screws into the glow plug hole if you
need/want to borrow it. Or I can give you McMaster-Carr part numbers for the
gauge and adapters, if you want to buy your own. I think it was about $30.
What color is the smoke and what does it smell like?
