fuelling problem on 3.1 pickup

[pauld]

Ive just fitted a new head on my 3.1 pickup, having cooked and cracked is predecessor, and now the engine doesnt want to fuel properly. Ive replaced the fuel filter and Im wondering if there could ome dirt in the pump. The symptoms are:- motor starts, wont rev, clouds of white smoke, sits about 1200 rpm and seems to "hunt" about 50-100rpm any one got any ideas? the engine has only 80k miles and up until its little overheat never gave any probs
in anticipation

white smoke is water in the cylinders isnt it? I Know next to nothing about deisels but your symptoms are what happened when we blew a head on a fergie tractor a couple of years ago

White smoke is a sign of retarded (???) injector pump timing.

If it smaellsstrongy of diesel its fuel Look for an unbled injector
If it doesnt smell much its water which says all is not right with the new head and gasket
