Willys engine question
 

Bought a jeep willys to restore/fix up, whatever. It has the flat head four
cylinder 134ci and new carb, it runs pretty good but tons of white smoke
from the exaust. I tried some marvile mystery oil, let it sit in each
cylinder for an hour or so then blew it all out and started it up again
hoping if it was a stuck ring or rings etc. Any help greatly appreciated.

White smoke usually means water. The muffler can be full of water that
will take a while to steam away or you could have a head gasket issue.

White smoke would either be coolant, or water in the muffler.

So if it's not water in the muffler then we are talking a cracked head/block
or blown head gasket right? How do I tell which is my problem?
