  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Planning rebuild Thoughts on Microblue racing bearings??

hey all I have a 2000 husky te610 that im going to tear down and rebuild with a bunch of good stuff like a 13:1 piston, hot cam, and zupin ignition that advances timing and raises the rev limit to 10500. So as ive been sourcing new crank and rod bearings, and I ran across microblue bearings. although pricey there claims are very compelling and looks like it would increase the life of my engine and offset any extra wear from the increased power. I have the rating specs for the stock bearings and am waiting to hear back from microblue with the specs on theirs. so anyone have any experience with these?

heres a link which at the bottom of it they show an amazing wear test using their coating

also the microblue website:

Never heard of them but you might want to contact member Mike Kay as his family does ceramic bearings and knows everything about them.
 
The videos are right out of the "snake oil salesman" bag of tricks. If this is some magic spray on coating in a can... well, you probably know the answer. If it ceramic bearings replacing conventional bearings, that something different. When I saw the first YouTube video with one bearing spinning (presumably their super duper one) and then a clearly faulty, noisy bearing spinning.... ya lose me fast.
 
ok thanks motosportz...

yeah tony im not talking bout those youtube videos, however the website has got a bunch of info about these bearings that make me wanna ask around cause they look good.
