Well injectors are FINE.
Ran it again and it smoked like crazy again after it got warm.
I drained the oil after the first set of injectors i put in because of fuel being dumped into #6 cylinder. I put in 5 quarts and it was a little high. Didnt notice at first and ran it. Still smoked so so i checked to maker sure and it was indeed a little above the full mark. So i drained some out thinking it might just be too much oil. So after that I ran it again til warm and it is still smoking a lot.
I think its definitely burning oil. Sure smells like it.
I scoped the #6 cylinder with a camera and i didnt see any obvious scoring from overheating. Assuming the fuel injector stuck open and washed out the oil. Maybe I burned a ring? But the compression was 147ish on #6 while the rest were around 150psi.
I guess next step is leak down to confirm leakage. Could just be a head gasket. The smoke got worse the longer I ran it. And I let it get up to temp this time.
