  1. So with tons of patience white vinegar and Kroil and hitting the pistons with a wood block and slight pressure on the crank back and forth it broke slightly. Though my bad #5 I will try to hone in place since that cylinder is all the way on the bottom stroke. I will still need a machine shop and pull the motor. I did message Steve S if he knew of a machine shop since I am about an hour away from Scranton. The guys from the Schuylkill fire museum are helping me out alot as well. Is this motor easy to pull?

  2. Thank you to all. The truck was always in storage not in the weather. The rest of the truck is great no rust. I have time to play with and budget to get fixed. I have been looking up ED model macks and they seem to be quite rare. I will try the motor since #5 is on the downstroke I will hone as much as I can and keep pushing Kroil lubricant on it. I am thinking I am going to have to pull it though but he'll I will try. And as for the prom I had a 67 chevelle ss or the mack and the girl at that time chose the mack because it was cool and different. I am in Jim Thorpe Pa if anyone knows a good reasonable machine shop.

  3. Hello, new to the forum hopefully someone can help. I need a rebuild on my 1941 Mack continental 6cyl flathead. It was in storage for over 30 years. Though a mechanic about 15 years ago when it was froze up. Instead of the normal things to do to get the motor moving again he took the head off and then left the head off. Therefore cylinder walls were rusty and and number 5 was pitted. So I need a rebuild and or a replacement. I took this truck to my prom in 91 and I really want it back on the road. Any help would be appreciated. TyScreenshot_20230609_124256_Messages.thumb.jpg.0756dbb0cdf214bb05c4ecc4bacded3c.jpg

  4. Hello I own a 1941 Mack ED fire truck. I have owned it for more than 35 years and my father had it before me where he bought it from Coopersburg fd in the early 70's. I have and issue the dumb mechanic who stored it for me took the head off it because it was locked up from just sitting. So needless to say I need a motor or the top end to be redone. Bottom end is fine. The truck was always inside. It has a continental Mack flathead 6. Any help with a person who could rebuild and sleeve it would be appreciated.
