If the smoking is caused by sticky rings the penetrant might free them up. If you've got rusty cylinder walls that won't let the rings re-seat, nothing short of a rebuild will help. Another way is to add about 2 quarts of Diesel fuel or kerosene to a crankcase full of heavy oil like straight 30 or 40 weight, and run the engine at a fast idle (1,000 RPM) for 30 minutes without putting any driving load on it. The overfill lets the crankshaft whip into the solvent-laced oil and splash it all over the place, including up under the pistons.
Definitely DO NOT drive the vehicle with a heavy overfill of solvent! Jerry
