If you can try to avoid running the 53 1 ton, the more dry the piston s are for tommorrow the more accurate my valve test will be.

Too late Chris and I had it running a little while ago.
All we need is a ruff idea of what the compression is, seems it`s running ok but hard to tell with all the exhaust noise....
It`s been sitting for years and seems to run better the more I run it.
We got the front end off today so it`s easier to do the test, still runable with the rad hooked up.

You should have stopped in for a minute or two.
Looks quite different without any front fenders, hood and grille.
