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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

05 TE510 valves replacements advice needed.

T

TRIPLE-M

Husqvarna
AA Class
About 3 months back, my mech replaced the 2 intake valves, including all new gaskets, springs, seals etc. He had the new steel valves cut down because the ones I ordered were too big, they're for '06 bikes. After the job, I have to re-shim the new valves twice within 3 months, seems like they're wearing out fast again. Mech says it could be valves surfaces not hardened after re-cut. So I guess I have to redo the valves replacements again. Need some advice on the following:
1) Have anyone tried the Pro X valves before? They have steel ones for my bike's year, and available from ebay.
2) What about the wiseco titanium valves?
3) Should I just stick to the oem titanium?
4) For a repeat job within such a short time, is it advisable to just replace the valves? Reuse the head gasket etc. If not, what would you replace?
5) Can the cylinder head be removed without dropping the engine? I send only the engine to my mech previously.

I am pondering on what to do next and will appreciate any advice. Thanks.
