So do we believe that the Monarks are better than stock? I think it is timing/injectors that are causing my idle smoke. I also get a puff of grey on take off. Not black like wot on #2. Just a grey puff--on both bio and dino and a blend.
Thanks again for input.

I believe the quality of the German made Monarks is better than the Indian made Bosch Injector Nozzles. And, if the pintles are central drilled on German or Indian made Bosch nozzles and you are not going to do a Purge periodically to keep the drilled nozzle hole clean; I believe you are better off with the Monarks. Not to mention they cost less.
For a quick check of your timing chain stretch this is a split picture. On the left are the Chamshaft gear and the gear timing mark lined up with the Chamshaft Tower timing mark. On the right is a pic of my Crankshaft Damper timing marks showing about 2 degrees late timing.
When the engine was built it was supposed to be aligned on the 0 mark on the Cranksaft Damper. Indicating there has been about a 2 degree change since the engine was built and 198,000 miles has passed.
