Blue smoke means oil. White smoke means steam, so you may have a cracked
head gasket. Before you pull the head, you might try some stop leak. If
the steam stops, then you'll know that was the problem. If the leak is
too bad, water will get into the oil and can destroy the main bearings.

Have fun restoring that Jeep. A friend gave me a '61 Kaiser ****** CJ5
with a Koenig body. It sat under a tree for ten years. I'm restoring it now.

Thousands of those flatheads are in service on sailboats as
auxilliaries: known as the Atomic Four.
Few crack.
