Not sure I've seen this. Usually use a 1-1/16" socket. Torque to 52ft-lbs, careful to always pull (or push) the ratchet lever towards the head, to avoid breaking off the injector boss cast into the head.

Yes, see

Why underneath? This photo shows how easy from above. Sorry, photo actually shows loosening. Tightening similar, just place crank pulley holding tool on other side of radiator fan bearing boss.

What color smoke? Might be fuel filter or IP adjustment rather than injectors? What else is making you condemn the injectors?

Make sure you have new injector heat shields for reinstall (or at least reform them w/ 1/2" ball bearing)(photos somewhere in this forum).
Your consistent 500PSI compression test results are optimum, really the main thing these engines need (compression, fuel, and air), should be a good runner once you get the details sorted out, regardless of the bad rep (sh***y turds!) these engines get on the other Volvo forums!

I forget if you said you had the neccessary +12VDC at the altitude compensator?
Most answers are scattered about this forum, sorry for the lack of a good index. Will require some dedicated searching time and a good internet connection. It is what it is.
