Is it me or can you see exhaust being expelled out of the intake when you first turn it over? and you also mention puffs of smoke around the rods, have you checked compression ? I've just had an issue with a d1005 not starting and was fixed this weekend with new piston rings, now it starts...

Is it worth doing all 3 at the same time , or just the one with low compression ? And should i also replace the con rod bearings at the same time ?
