    Volvo 5.7 gxi c No Start

    Its not common, as before if its leaking no where else, and injectors are not staying ON, then it has to be the injectors. The way to find out which ones is to have all of the cleaned and tested. Figure around $25 each

    Volvo 5.7 gxi c No Start

    No, your fuel pressure is fine If the injectors are leaking then they are the problem. I would suggest pulling the injectors and have them cleaned and flow tested. Don't use a place that mainly does autos, it needs to do marine. Mercruiserparts.com or boatsunlimited.com There are some others

    Smoke from valve cover / breather hose SBC 305

    Inside the combustion chamber there is lots of pressure every time the spark plug ignites the fuel. Some of those burnt by products is what your seeing as it mixes with oil vapors. Pressures increase as motor temps come up and speed
