sounds like what happens when the oil temp sensor gets out of whack or something amiss with a major system. the timing is off when it pours smoke or there is a physical problem with a major o-ring leak.
the fuel pressure is measured with a scrader valve screw on type fitting near the filter housing.
You can make an hpop gauge by going down to the local hydralic supply house and getting a 3500psi or higher pressure gauge with about 4 feet of hose. the brass plug on the side of the heads along the oil rail (facing inside middle) easily removes. just have the guy make up a hose with the same fittings and screw it on and monitor it when the engine runs. mine cost about $30 to make.
