Air in the fuel will not cause this issue. A diesel engine can run as lean as you can get it where a gasoline engine cannot.

Your looking at a fuel or water issue causing white smoke. I remember water being the white smoke issue, however, that is with gasoline engines. I think diesel can belch a bit of white smoke but usually a rich mixture will be black.

Change the fuel lines 15 minutes after putting it back together, can't hurt.

WHITE SMOKE occurs when raw diesel comes through the exhaust completely intact and unburned.

Diesel Auto Power responded today saying there was a bunch of debris in my injectors and they are testing today and are going to get me some answers tomorrow but have adjusted valve lash while waiting. Also I'm looking for a FASS if anyone knows where I can pick a good one up for cheap. I'm feeling pretty confident that it's an injector related problem at this point but I guess I won't know till I get it back together.
