Project 77

They don’t always clear out right away. But depending upon how long it’s been sitting, usually a “snake oil“ additive will eventually clear things up.
Unless it was turned over and run with completely dry cylinders, the rings might still be OK. Your compression numbers indicate reasonably good condition.
I wonder if all the smoke was from one cylinder? You said all, but one, but what was the reading on that one?

Number was 85 I sprayed in a little oil and it went up to 125.

Did the previous owner indicate how long the engine had been sitting? Or how many miles on it? Or if it’s original?

I never got to talk with the oner but it was shipped to the US three years ago I think it was shut down at least five years before that.

Sounds like it might just need a little driving time then.

Without brakes, driveline or seat that is not going to happen for awhile. For know just knowing it will run.
