  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Valve cover oil vent: Wobbly union?!

I'm working on one that fits a wide range of models but unfortunately I don't believe it will fit the newer 250/310 at this time. I'll look into it though.

If your in a rush to get one by next weekend or something, the ZipTy union mentioned on page 1 of this thread is made just for the newer 250/310 X-lite engines.
 
Silicone won't do the trick but this Seal-All stuff seems to be holding up well on my valve cover:

Exactly!

I've also found that RTV really doesn't work in this situation.

There was some kind of white RTV on mine (TE450 '06) when I got it and it started to weep a bit eventually. I ended up using Permatex Blue RTV (just so happens it goes with the blue and yellow plastics) and it seems to be working. Just gotta use the right amount. A little inside and coat it up outside and make sure you let it fully dry before heating up the motor or moving things.
