I need help. My K3500 dually is down. I have had it for 2 months. It always seemed to smoke a lot more than my other trucks I have had. It seemed to loose power one night. Next morning it sounded like the exhaust manifold was blown. I drove it to find someone to look at it. Not smart. Came home after about 40 miles. Running rough with a knock (light sound) I drove slow. I fixed right side exhaust maniforld. Truck still was running with same knock and engine timing valvle slapt or something. The knock was a timing issue. So, I replace the timing chain. The result was a little less knock but a lot of smoke. It will bog and pour out smoke. I replaced the crank position sensor. I changed the timing offset gizmo on the pass side of the IP ( It was from an old IP _ I know it was a working pull from my 96) Truck is smoking.
My question:
I had to pull the IP back when I did the T Chain. I know that I rotated both the crank and the cam (together) when I turned the cam nut. I turned it back about what I thought it was but I think I went back(clockwise)too far. When this movement occurred it did not affect valve timing as the chain was intact but the IP was loose.
Could I have thrown my IP timing out of whack in the timing chain replacement?
I thought the IP would adjust itself.

Smoking like a beast - NOW WHITE SMOKE rattles and stalls. I can warm it up. It will rev up some of the time but other times will bog.
Just checked oil and it was very high on the dipstick. I run the truck in the recommended zone. I am wondering what else is in under the oil pushing it up on the stick. Nothing but oil show on the stick but it is way up halfway on the stick.
What should I do? I just have a code reader. I just want to get it somewhere to be fixed. Should I try turning the IP? Would that help?
Thanks in advance for your help.
