RE: 460 head problem. Got about 250 miles today. Manifold bolt blew out at about 50. I left it...Big exhaust leak..loud. But pointed away from the plug wire. I figure, maybe the large patch will last a while.. As it has so far... Lining up shops for estimates in AZ...	readytoroll2	12/18/09 06:21pm	Class A Motorhomes

RE: 460 head problem. Got a link for the Tabors cement? I can't seem to find them.	readytoroll2	12/17/09 01:06pm	Class A Motorhomes
RE: 460 head problem. There are a number or things that can be done. A good weldor with a mig can weld the corner back on.( Oh-just noticed you lost the corner) Be aware that if you need to do any drilling or tapping, the water jacket is just 1/4 inch under what you can see so don't go too deep. For exhaust leaks, the best stuff is Tabor's hot exhaust cement. It goes on as a liquid then turns to a glass like substance. Many folks who have used it leave it permanently its that good, but it needs to be ordered direct from the company. I'm not sure with your rig if you can get the head off, but a handy way to take the engine out through the front is the Steck engine out. A plate attaches to the front of the engine and then you attach your hoist to that. With your rig that may not be an option but works great for class C's. Many folks feel an exhaust leak is harmless, but it can frequently lead to what you are experiencing. Thorley or Banks headers is a good choice if your going to keep the rig. Great info. Thank you. Just patched it up... AGAIN. Found some 2400 degree stuff at the local auto parts store... I put that on..will let that cure..then hit it with the muffler stuff... As Soon I can stay in one place, and close to a city... I may try that Tabor stuff. Or maybe just have it repaired..not sure. Though I am not keeping this rig.. Yea, Readytoroll..what a joke. maybe I should have just flown and stayed at hotels? Maybe	readytoroll2	12/17/09 12:55pm	Class A Motorhomes
460 head problem. About 600 miles ago, I heard a loud exhaust leak, all of the sudden. After inspecting it, a chunk of the head at the left rear exhaust port fell off somewhere in TN. I think it had a leak there to begin with.Since I have been piling on the epoxy...But every 200 miles or so, It will burn off, and burn the plug wire off. I am trying to get to Phoenix..where I or I can have a shop repair it... Been doing some searching this morning too... So .. 1. Does anyone know of any quick fixes? 2. Later, Can the head be repaire by filling with weld...and installing headers? 3. What is invloved with head replacement? Can you get the head off where the engine sits? I have a f53 w/ 460 . 1995 holiday rambler. Thank you	readytoroll2	12/17/09 07:56am	Class A Motorhomes
RE: "Westward, Ho!" But... not on I-40? Hmmmmm.. I'm confused which way to go now.. Just read this thread... I'm in TN now..Heading to phoenix area first...was going through new orleans then out I10... But we have been considering a more direct route... Too cold still around here... So re-thinking about heading straight out I40...Faster more direct route. I don't know what to do... How does the hills of I40 compare to the hills in I81 south bound through Virgina, from DC?	readytoroll2	12/08/09 07:43am	Class A Motorhomes
RE: Wet Inside Windshield I think it may have been the cooking we did. We are in TN now, and it was 27 degrees last night. I left a window cracked a little.. No moisture build up. Though,I feel we are wasting money out the window, it's better than a moisture problem I guess... I have fans everywhere in the rig... I'l be running them when we are cooking, bathing, etc... from now on.	readytoroll2	12/07/09 07:07am	Class A Motorhomes
RE: Wet Inside Windshield Picking up some great tips...Thanks folks. I have double pane windows, and they did not seem to be a problem.. Only the front... I'm in TN, Now..Maybe it's warmer here..Doesn't feel it...(smile)	readytoroll2	12/06/09 08:35pm	Class A Motorhomes
RE: Wet Inside Windshield Ok.. Just wanted to check and make sure ... Thank you	readytoroll2	12/06/09 06:51am	Class A Motorhomes
Wet Inside Windshield Is this Normal? Woke up this am to leave DC, And found inside my windsheild ..soaked... About 70 degrees inside , 37 degrees out... I've wiped it down, but do I have a problem? It's a 31ft HR, gas..If it matters. Thanks	readytoroll2	12/06/09 06:44am	Class A Motorhomes
RE: NY to AZ Thanks folks... I'd like to here about those other roads if anyone has any info.. And Ron Butler.. Maybe I'm off base here...But the the "Blue Roads " Is what charged me the $70 to here... Though there was a bunch of bridges and tunnels... One I remember was $16...So when you say Blue roads..That means interstates? I know there is an option on my GPS to choose " no toll roads " ... should I set it to that?	readytoroll2	12/03/09 06:43am	Roads and Routes
RE: NY to AZ Hey folks... On the road now..In DC for a few day... Cherry hill RV park.. Frome Albany to here, It must have been $70 in tolls for 370 miles...Can anyone tell me if these are toll roads? I81 I40 I55 I10 If they are, I'm thinking I need to find a cheaper alternative..Moho pulling a toad is expensive... Thank you !!	readytoroll2	12/02/09 07:45pm	Roads and Routes
RE: East coast travel Reading this ..I had a good laugh... Went through the baltimore tunnel today by mistake .. coming from upstate NY to DC.... Tolls where around $70 from Albany... Damn...	readytoroll2	12/02/09 07:33pm	Roads and Routes
RE: Wiring Tail light Converter ? Thank you...But trying another route now.. Could not find 4 of the diodes ANYWHERE local..Checked.. I can't wait for shipping.. We want to leave on our journey tues/weds... So when returning the 3 to 2 converter to uhaul...The guy shows me another powered converter that look like it will do the job... we'll see tommarrow or sat..Today I spent most of the day installing road master tow bar brackets on the Honda...	readytoroll2	11/27/09 04:30pm	Dinghy Towing
RE: Wiring Tail light Converter ? On my previous toad, Chevy Tracker, and current toad, PT Cruiser, I added a light socket and wired the motorhome to it. It is safer than using your toad's wiring. You don't have to worry about messing up the computer system in the toad. I went to NAPA and found a socket to fit. So you unplug and plug in the light sockets each time you use the toad? And ok on the diaodes... I have a set of magnet lights... Just seemed like a hassle to use them... I'll check around local for the diaodes tomorrow... maybe a light socket too...:B Thanks for the help people	readytoroll2	11/25/09 07:16pm	Dinghy Towing
RE: Wiring Tail light Converter ? Must I use the diodes to wire "as is " ? I think I had it wired like that today... and it was like the 4 ways where on , with only a directional on... Trying to do this on the cheap...	readytoroll2	11/25/09 06:08pm	Dinghy Towing
Wiring Tail light Converter ? Have a 95 holiday rambler that has a 7 pin ,round type, at the hitch... utilizing the same pin for directional and stop...Wiring up a 98 honda civic as a dinghy and after several hours, realized I need some kind of converter. It has amber directionals and red stop lights.. Been searching the web... Is a 2 TO 3 wire converter the same as a 3 to 2 converter? I grabbed a 3 to 2 from U haul, tonight, but not I'm doubting it can be used in reverse? Are they bi-directional? Do I need one that specifically say 2 to 3 wire? Leaving next week..so I'm under the gun... Thank you...	readytoroll2	11/25/09 05:42pm	Dinghy Towing
RE: NY to AZ Ok, 81-40-30-20-10 seems to be the route... How about some touristy stuff? All we have is graceland and panning for some diamonds somewhere...:) We have as long as we need or want to get to the southwest... what did people like? Maybe there is nothing to see? Besides the countryside?	readytoroll2	11/14/09 07:07pm	Roads and Routes
RE: NY to AZ Cool... I guess 81 to 40 etc.. Is good...That rock slide doesn't come into play that way... How about 95 to 20 ? And Hills are ok ( I think) The Rv feels like it has a little power...Though downshifting alot I'd bet..	readytoroll2	11/06/09 05:11pm	Roads and Routes
