Messed with it today. You all recall it smokes real bad(well bad but
not REAL bad, I have seen worse). Anyway, I found out for sure #1 is
not firing at all all. Pulled all the injectors, pop tested them,
cleaned out the holes and pulled the prechamber rings. Non were
cracked. INstalled
Compression test ?
You have spare 602 engines lying around?
So what do you think is causing this chugga chugga? Im thinking
just pulling the motor and dropping in the other motor/trans I have and
be done with it. Just wanted to see what was up with this one first.

The big round lifters move up and down, cant really tell more than that.
Doesnt really act like a blown head gasket. All the ones I have seen
blow massive smoke and oil out the back, this one smokes, but its not an
oil smoke, its like burning too much diesel smoke.

Its possible the oil was just overfilled. Im sure the head will be
coming off.

Copious blue smoke on acceleration is most likely a bad (leaking)
turbo, but idle won't be affected.

It's rare, but it CAN happen. Blown head gasket MUCH more common (I know
of more than a dozen on OM60x engines).

I suspect a blown gasket would also account for the fuel dilution, now
that I think of it. Where else is it gonna go, since it won't burn
very well!

bluish grey, like maybe oil mixed with unburned diesel fuel.

Blue can be a bad turbo (leaking copious oil into the exhaust), cheap
fix. Will run badly if it has leaked enough oil into the intake to
roast the prechambers.

Check the oil for diesel fuel odor -- if so, it's pump time, the
plunger set(s) are leaking into the cam chamber. This will shortly
ruin the engine from lack of lubrication, and it ain't much good for
the IP, either.
It won't be delivery valves, alas.

Will it be missing on just one cylinder though?

If that plunger set it toast, yes. There is no other way I know of
that fuel can get into the oil other than through the bottom side of
the IP.
It's possible (although unlikely in my opinion) that a bad injector
(cracked nozzle) is dumping enough fuel into the combustion chamber to
flood
This one smokes somewhat at idle, but when revving its quite a smoking
SOB which is why head gasket is probably most likely I guess

Im still not sure if it has a blown head gasket or just delivery valves.
After getting it good and warmed up it seems it idle worse than when
cold. Also, the oil pressure will drop WAY down at idle and not hit 3
till about 2k or so. The oil level is REAL high, not sure why. I
suppose its
