A little bit different engine style Gimp. That tornado disaster ain't no flathead!A couple days should be fine. I put MMO in my M725's cylinders through the plug holes one Friday, Sunday I cranked it over and it fired a few times, just enough for me to know it was free and not stuck. That was after the engine was sitting 15 years without anyone running it.
You're right, Lane. It's not a flathead, but MMO works well on waking old 230cid Dodge flatheads as well, I used it on a buddy's a couple years back, same story. That engine was un-run for 8 years, so maybe it didn't need a kick in the pants to unseat the pistons. But I swear by MMO for soaking old pistons in for a couple days regardless of what engine it is. Just seems to work well for me.A little bit different engine style Gimp. That tornado disaster ain't no flathead!
I here ya..I was referring to the two day thing. It might take a bit to free up a Flathead in the block valve train, compared to that overhead valve engine with a two foot timing chainYou're right, Lane.

And I believe you have me confused with someone else. Like Gimpy.![]()

Would probably get the rings to pop after two days though. MMO works well on all sleepy engines that is why i referred it in a earlier post.
Wow great deal. I have been looking for a M152 for couple of years. If you change your mind on restoring this truck give me a shoutI found this truck thru a friend and was told it might go to the scrapper. So I proceeded right after work that day to look at it and then went home to do some research. Once I realized what it was and that there was only 1038 ever made I knew what I had to do. The seller was a good guy so it worked out. The body is rough but complete. The engine looks to be origanal to so we'll see what happens. Let me know what you think.
