Minor smoke help

[firecop]

I have just done a cummins swap into my 01 F-250. I believe it is a 90 6bt. I not sure what the engine came out of or the milage. The cummins had the aftercooler (i think that is what it is called) but i eliminated that and went with a intercooler. I did have the ve pump retimed back to zero so i knew it was right. At this time the the pump is advanced by maybe an 1/8 of an inch or so. I'm running an airdog fuel pump and put a hx-35 turbo on it. All new gaskets and everything inside seemed within specs. Nothing modified on the injection pump to my knowledge. Seems to run great. I did have to replace the head because i had the 9mm injectors and of course cracks in the head. The head i put on it had the 7mm injectors. The injectors were not stock and i believe i was told they are 70hp or 80hp over stock but not new.
I have noticed what appears to be white smoke at idle while in gear and acceleration. My concern is if something is not right that i could cause further damage. I am new to diesel because i know gas but i am learning about diesel quickly.
Not sure where i need to start first. Not sure if injectors, timing, fuel issues, or something else is a good place to start. I did just find out at idle while listening to the truck i heard something that didn't sound right. I tracked it down to my air filter. I am thinking i need to change it because it may be restricting air flow. Could that cause white smoke. I know this may be a lot but i wanted to give what i know. I hope it is enough for a little advice.
Thank you

White smoke is unburned (raw) fuel. Black is partial burned fuel. You have a timing issue in most cases, unless it is 25°F and then engine is cold or it is set up for truck pulling.. It is retarded timing.

Another issue is low compression.

Another issue is incorrect injectors. You CAN use incorrect injectors, and that white *smoke* you see is normal and then we descrive it as "haze"

Another issue is bad injectors. That is to say they are set too low, are very worn or they are damaged, plugged etc.etc.etc.

If I had more time, I could find other causes floating around in my head...........

You say your running a Airdog what pressure are you running it at? The VE pump won't take alot of pressure.

I would mark where your pump is set at and then move it to the head with the timing.

he is usually right.
