Move the gears to set the timing? About one mm of movement equals 2 degrees of timing. How are you verifiying the timing. How fast it revs has no reflection of the timing being close. You can have it 10 degree+ adv or ret and she'll still rev right up quick like. Makes me wonder if you ever took the IP off and didn't set the gears to the right marks before you put it on. Then again heavy smoke on only one bank and not the other isn't nessesarily timing related either. If the timing is way off the that would effect both banks equally. When you replaced the injectors you also replaced the caps and o-ring seals etc too right? Also a comp test wouldn't hurt. Perhaps a down cylinder not firing the diesel will cause excess smoke but I don't think it'd be blue smoke for a non firing cylinder. Blue usually equals something like oil, the whiteish color for non firing fuel or water, and we all know what black equals
