Picked up this babe for $300..79 Cherokee Chief W/T...2 yrs ago. Put in new starter and ring gear and started driving. Not a daily driver and nothing hard, haven't even 4byd with it yet. Engine beginning to smoke like a misquito control rig. Need some help! Don't want to pull engine! Is mystery oil a solution :(

If it's just smoking at start up it's prolly just valve guides/seals. If it smokes at other times your rings are most likely shot and nothing you pour in from a can is going to add metal to your rings or cylinder walls.
Have you done a compression check yet? If not, that's the place to start.
