OK, got a bit more info on another forum. A Minitruck dealer says it's fairly common for them to smoke because they are shipped standing vertically in a container and oil tends to submerge the valve guide seals. Kinda makes sense to me, altho I would have thought the seals tougher than that.
I also found an OBD-2 connection. Now if I can just find an OBD-2 reader for the F6A engine.
