The head was pressure tested for cracks. came back clear. When unit is under load using hydraulics. smoke is drastically less; I assume it's because revs are down to a minimum. I've driven the unit for about a hour. Mabe i should drive it a bit longer. I had another master technician over for 2nd opinion. however, he thinks that problem is a oil issue.
