Mguy - Thanks for reply.
Yes, M 1947, has been sitting up for 8-10 years after it had been completely overhauled and ran 40-50 hours until it started smoking and parked. Had it worked on to correct this but not sure problem or resolve.
Now, bringing it back to life AGAIN. Rebuilt carb., tune up, new wires etc. and cleaned starter, and its maiden run did well. Engine smoked some (I had put oil in cylinders to soak and help loosen up engine to get started) but ran better with time in all gears. Finally quite smoking after running a while and getting hotter. The next week I drove it I could not put in gear while running, major grinding with clutch in. There does not appear to be any adjustment in clutch linkage (between clutch pedal and throwout arm). Will a clutch or pressure plate replacement do it?

Concern Item#2 - Also found some oil in antifreeze when I drained main water plug on side of engine. Did compression and pressure tests via all plugs and found no escaping air to indicate blown head gasket, cracked hear or other visable cracks. Could sitting up for 8-10 years cause this? Not sure how long oil has been in engine. What else could I test to determine where oil is coming from? Plan to run and monitor-whats your take on how to proceed.

Will be home to respond more promptly. Sorry for delay as I was at work when I asked for HELP!
