Blowing smoke?

Gday Gribble,
it is blowing a bit of white smoke in the morning before it warms up, but once it is warm it is pretty good. Reckon it might be worth taking the injectors out and having a bit of a look?

The easiest way to change the filter is to take the housing right off so you can see the bolt underneath

just a quick reply,
replaced air and fuel filters and did an oil change,she is even better than before now!
