Ok, before you freak out, and you start pulling the motor, let me offer some
advice. If your D has been sitting for a long time and it didn't smoke
before you stored it,
then your problem most likely would be stuck/sticking piston ring's,
allowing oil into one or more of the cylinders, and burning the oil when
they are fired . Go to a parts store and get 2 bottle's of Marvel mystery
oil. Drain one quart of oil and pour the first bottle into your engine, this
should free the ring's. Then pour the other in the gas tank .It makes a very
good cleaning agent, with a lubricant for the upper part of the motor,
valves, etc, if poured in the fuel tank and burned with the fuel. This stuff
has been around alot longer then we have, and earned it's name with top
mechanics.Also to mention it has cured this problem for me on 2 of my older,
stored, super toy's. You might need to do it twice to free the rings, but a
hek of alot cheaper fix than a engine rebuild. Hope this helps and good
luck!!
