Reminds me of a Differential cover I saw once.
The pump or injectors are just putting out way too much fuel. After maybe 5 minutes of running, OK at idle, but missing like Obamas real identity while reving. Now it does rev up a bunch now, and it wouldn't do that before, so I am moving in the right direction.Under the exhaust pipe everywhere there is a junction, I got little burned black puddles of fuel

Bit of wet black in the tailpipe, but it's unburned fuel.

Bit of wet black in the tailpipe, but it's unburned fuel.I'd start by getting a jug of clean diesel and placing the feed line for the lift pump in it (effectively bypassing the rest of the fuel system) and see if the problem improves/goes away. If it goes away you have a supply/air leak problem between the tank and lift pump. If it's the same I'd start by checking the pump timing but delivery valves can also cause white smoke/popping.

The builder is a Cat diesel mechanic who knows this engine. He said the delivery valves are laser cut and it has a #5 fuel delivery plate. That may sound good, but introduces the likelihood of errors. With my knowing a bit more than a novice about the 6BT, I'm guessing he has the pump timing off since it is popping on acceleration and idles like a stocker, although it puts out white smoke even at idle. So either/or, too much fuel, or it's being introduced at the wrong time (Timing)I'll go off and hunt down delivery valve info.I feel I am very close to solving this mystery!

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
now that SD runs
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I need a professional to go through the timing, Pump, injectors...everything to sort it out. I'll learn as we go, but that is probably the right way to attack this.

(I know it was built by a Cat mechanic but dunno if he's local, provided any guarantees, etc. )
you are awarded 3 demerits.
good to see you aren't slacking....
i see that the smoker you have in the corner there is completely ruined! you may have to do a resto thread on that in the mean time........;D
Tank looks good. Wheres the fender on the DR??
