We have a 544K jd loader s/n 1dw544kzchf683777. Operator says it started runing bad and white smoke> our other mechanic looked at it and had codes for cam timing and pump timing. We only have a few mechanics so the larger jobs we have to give to dealer unfortunately . Hear is what they said seams odd to me so i wanted to get other peoples experiences. thanks for any input you might have.
thanks

Machine is currently tore down to the point of the root cause. Root cause two injectors were stuck wide open. This caused the engine to stop running. This engine has been over fueling for an extended period of time. This caused many of the components to become plugged. The inside of turbo passages and EGR cooler are filled with sludge. This will need to have the head removed to clean sludge contaminants and check for warpage and cracks. The EGR cooler replaced. Replace all 6 injectors. Estimated repairs $17,000. Mechanically no engine damage is apparent at this time. Please advise on how to proceed so we can get parts coming by the end of the day today.
