An update and then my problem; First, we were given the 1983 Nissan Datsun SD22 Kingcab 720 pickup. The previous owner had to park it after his surgery; there it sat for 5+ years. We enter the picture with only that knowledge and the idea that this truck would make a great first vehicle for my son. 
This is when the games began. We did manage to start the thing but it snorted and belched smoke so we drained the old diesel out and made a game plan. We decided to do a little work to make sure it would a safe ride for my son. No wrecking yards around had anything! I went on the web searching for parts (how I found you). We went though http://www.KitPros.com (Jim) and were able to get a rebuild kit. (What was in our kit, the price, and a note from Jim are listed below.) My hubby made a tool to remove the old piston liners and it worked like a charm. We ran into the cracked cylinder head and spend about 5 months looking for one. When we were told about http://www.car-parts.com that’s when and were we found one. Once we had the head we were back in business or at least we thought. Now we have it all together and we still have the smoking beast from… well you get the point. (To give you a visual, I was on my way home and was about a ¼ mile away from home and thought the shop was on fire, that’s how much smoke there was.) It starts up easy and shuts down easy and runs pretty smooth, it just smokes like nobody’s business. He has adjusted timing, fuel pump timing, put cod liver oil in where it was called for, and even change around the injectors (they all fire fine). See in the pic where the gold fuel line come to the top nut of the injector, if you have your engine running and loosen one at a time you will notice that the engine will loose power. We did this test (I guess you can call it that) and cylinder 1 and 4 responded by chugging, but when we tried 2 and 3, nothing. We then swapped the injectors and tried it again and had the same results 1 and 4 chugging, 2 and 3, nothing. We have done everything in the book (and we have three books). Can anyone help I feel like we are fumbling around in the smoke.

Derrick, while the liners are figured to be a “finished’ liner, you must always check the fit between piston and liner upon installation. Variations can alter the fit of the liner in the block. This kit includes a new set of pistons and matching rings. They are the 5ring style used in the forklift applications, but will work just fine in your truck. We could try for the 3ring style from the one manufacturer who lists them. Assuming they actually have them available it would add $130 more to this price. There is also a .50mm (.020”) over size piston (5ring style) available if your shop thinks they can clean up your old cylinders in that way. Let me know which way you want to go and I will change the “buy button” to reflect the appropriate kit.

We think this is a great site and love all the help we are getting and how nice everyone is. 
Kudos to all!!! 
well I put license on it on Monday the 18th and drove it all over town getting what last little things it needed done for it to be legal in my state and safe for my son. Drove it all day Tuesday and let my son take it out for a little while Tuesday night. I drove it again Wednesday making sure we were catching any bugs that needed to be worked out (like the small problem we had with the lights and the ignition switch). We let my son take it out for the second time (by himself) and he wrecks 
the truck in a ditch. My son was not hurt 
So this has been our Christmas season. I hope all of yours has been better. Let me hear from you
