After about 10 minutes of motor idling, smoke/fog in great volumes exits
the exhaust pipe. I also noticed that engine oil is blown out the
dipstick when the dipstick is removed while the engine is idling.
My vote is head gasket/crack. Something is allowing water/coolant into a
combustion chamber when it reaches temperature.
As to the oil, make sure that the motor is properly vented. It sounds like
you have too much crankcase pressure.
Regardless of what your rings are doing, this motor has a rather large vent,
drivers side rear, that should handle any and all pressure that the motor
can deliver without finding other places of egress.
Personally, I would stop putting kerosene in the motor right away.
