Gave the '51 a little love today. Changed oil and by-pass filter. Adjusted valves using Hotrod Lincoln's method. Cleaned and adjusted points. Checked compression.

Really happy with the compression test. 1st one in 6 years of ownership and about 15k of driving. After changing the 15w40 diesel oil and driving 10 miles or so to get things up to temp for the valve adj. session all cylinders were 120 to 125 psig dry. I was hoping for 100 psig.
