Even the pros will debate and disagree on some numbers...

Obviously the original manual has been rethought as things like oil improvements have been made and things like viscosity and multiweights can be thought through rather than base it on 30-50 year old tech.

All you can do is read it all and make up your own mind.

I use the "what has really changed" and what new tech procedures can update a 30-50 year old manual.

I have to think some thing are like using leeches by doctors...some will say use what the manual published in 1963 says...totally ignoring the manual that was republished in 1975...so like leeches they say...good for then...good for now. You decide...I like to think I can do better than follow antiquated thinking.
