I have the same symptoms on my WC-51 Robert. Similar compression and blow by issues and low oil pressure. I was able to limp it through 4th of July parades with a heavy oil additive, but run mine at speed too long and it starts to over heat. I'll be interested to hear how your "in-truck" rebuild goes... although my cylinders have quite a lip on the top and there's a pronounced "tap" from the #6 piston. Plus there's rust and such in the bottom of the block. I pulled all the freeze plugs and flushed it really well, but repeated flushes keep bringing up more rust. So mine may need more attention than can be given with the motor still in the truck.

Good luck with yours though... keep us posted.
