  1. Getting close to spring started a new project,replacement of my head gasket in my sunrader it has a 20r motor you can see from the pic.took the head to the parts store to get it milled and pressure tested, I bought new valves and springs, does anybody know what the washers are for? I can't get the pic to load they are from the parts left over from the valve job, they look like shims under the springs. I took all the emissions off and added some of the block off plates. did not have the one on the back of the head ordered from LC  what does that block off?

  2. That is a sway bar I had the same thing on my 1979 sunrader. i changed my axle to a 6 lug axle it is a lot of work! You have to get different u bolts I think 3 inch and the plate where the u bolts go though. move the spring perch in about 1 inch you can use the same springs. there is some great pics in the forums that really helped me a lot some of the people here could find them. one of the old members JD or zero showed everything hope this helps a little. ?

Drove to lake superior this week end in the upper peninsula to a town called grand marias not much there but a campground,some of the sites are buy the water my wife and I got one of the sites we set up camp Friday . Saturday  it rained all day, the weather gets got really bad at night in the pics you can see the leaf and debris was all over the back of the camper. At night the wind was blowing pretty hard and raining hard,we herd a noise from the door l though it was the wind ,it was not ,crazy it was a lady that was drunk and was sitting in the driver's seat my wife got up she was naked and had to bend over to open the door for her, should have locked the door this was 4 o'clock in the morning.it was one of those trips.

  7. Hay thanks for the info the head was milled .010 I miss typed it wrong. I want to buy a head gasket for it there's a lot of choices out there LC has a gasket  for a stock engine they have different thicknesses would that be for a milled head? The cost for the valves  is not to expensive I think I will just buy new . I should do a compression test the motor it has around 87,000 miles on the MH. The head started to leak around the time I put a new exhaust gasket it seems it was coming for one of the studs! So the head has no cam bearings?

  8. Hi all I have a 1979 sunrader  I think the head gasket leaks, I read in a post about the same leak Montana chinooks MH. Under the exhaust manifold. I bought a head on creagslist milled .10"  no valves or cam should I use the cam bearings in the old cam or buy new? I paid 60 dollars for for the head it seems to be cleaned like sand blasting. How far should I take it new valves and springs I know new seals?from the pics it is hard to see the leak.it would be nice to buy a head from LC but way to much money.does any body have any info on a MLS head gasket they seem to have different thickness?
