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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2006 Te 610 Head Gasket Replacement

Hi everybody,

I am new to this thread and somewhat new to working on motorcycles. I bought a used 06 te610 that just had the head gasket replaced at Bills Husky in Salem, maybe a few hundred miles on it since. After riding for just 50 miles or so i noticed some seaping from the head gasket under the headers, and then below the intake manifold. I took it back to Bills to re torque the head..still leaked. I have since pulled the head apart. I am going to take the cylinder and head into a shop and have them milled, as the head did not seem flat. need a better straight edge though. Any input based on the pictures?

Here are a few pics of the inside of the cylinder. I can feel one of the vertical marks with my fingernail, though it is very slight

Thanks for the reply ghte. It seemed like some black bubbly soot near the exhaust side where it was leaking. Other wise the coloring on the valves looks ok?
 
Any one used gear jamming tool to remove the flywheel nut? i have the whole top end off and jamming a penny on the crank gear on the right side did not work. Also, when i took the allen bolts off the cam gear, i put the bike in gear and rotated the cam gear untill it stopped and removed a nut. Then it was able to rotate another 180 degrees and it stopped again. This allowed me to get the bolts off, but could it have somehow damaged the transmission?
 
Brought the head into a reputible shop in Bend. They still need to put on a stone to check for flat but they took the valves apart i guess they are burnt pretty bad. I also found some metal shavings on the gears on the flywheel side, along with the epoxy on the edge of the magnets broken off and in the screen filter. It seems like there is some ware on the new reed valve. I guess the last owner replaced the cam chain and didnt propelry tighten the bolts ( he heard a noise coming from the top end after the repair and brought it to Bills). They replaced the reed valve and fixed everything but did not replace the chain. Maybe it stretched from running on loose gears? it only has a few thousand miles on it. Either way i see ware on the reed valve.
