Hi Barry
I wouLd run the engine up and get it hot, then drain the oil. Smell the oil to see if there is any hint of petrol. If so there may be petrol leaking through the fuel pump diaphragm and into the oil and thinning it out which could be a cause of the smoke. The specified oil for Carriers by British army was SAE 30 and I would use one of the Classic 30 oils which you often find stocked in local motor factors.
I did suggest in an earlier post to take the plugs out one at a time to see if any particular ones were oily as that could indicate a problem withiN that cylinder.
