danigold: Welcome to YF, BTW.

Not sure if your 'E' motors came equipped with block heaters and/or do they work? That would explain a lot of the white smoke on start-up on a chilly morning.
I concur with Capt J on giving these MTU's a 'thumbs up'.

From my own recent experiences with a set of 1994 183-series engines, I would have the main heat Xers boiled out: if this has not been done recently, they'll quickly go into overheat if you 'put it in the corner'.
