If cylinders are your concern look up wet/dry compression testing.
If your concerned with injectors a leak back test would show you exactly.

Both are diy able with a some research and a little help from your friends here

That sounds like unburnt diesel rather than oil

White smoke indicates air in the fuel. Start checking for leaks/loose hoses etc

Probably best just to concentrate on one thread, two will just confuse matters.
Also running on the RR forum: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/can-some-one-pleas-help.358341/

As I said, white smoke means air in the fuel. Did you anneal the new copper washer 1st ?

Sounds like you did everything right, still think its air getting into the fuel. Redo thecwashers swop them over
