Injector Washer II

Many thanks for the suggestions on removing the washer, I managed to
remove it in the end with a sharpened nail head and lots of WD40!
So now the injectors are in and the rebuild seems to be completed,
however after a couple of miles on the test run I got a loud
clack-clack-clack noise, lots of white smoke, which went away after I
dropped the power. I managed to get it back home ok, does anyone have
any ideas what could be wrong this time? A friend suggested readjusting
the tappets or bleeding the fuel system, do these ring a bell?

Thanks in advance

Stuck pintle in an injector. Take them back from whence they arrived
and get replacements under warranty (if you can - they may plead lack of
care fitting them has allowed crud inside the fuel connection).
