Everything in the crankcase looks like it was rubber coated. It killed the bearings and clogged the rings.. Change the oil often, if you run the stuff.

That is certainly good advice. The veg that makes it down into the crankcase does some well documented nasty things and I would recommend every 3000 miles max and make sure the veg oil is good and hot before turning it on.
I know someone who filters his crankcase oils, used transmission fluid etc. to 1-5 microns (synthetic, dino, no matter) the same way as he filters his WVO and then burns it in his engine a bit at a time. That way it does double duty. Apparently no noticeable smoke.
