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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 TC250 piston ring replacing

One of my TC250s (~215 hrs) needs rings I guessing as the engine oil is going somewhere at a somewhat high rate (I feel) ... Bike still runs well and has power, but the oil is disappearing ...

I've looked at the repair manual and don't see anything too difficult at this time but have the following questions on the subject ..

1) Can I just remove the head and cylinder and then replace the rings with the piston left attached to the connecting rod?

2) The head and base gaskets are made out of metal. Can these gaskets be used a second time or is that risking too much.

Thanks for any help here.
 
Yes to the 1st question. An I wouldn't to the 2nd question unless you really had no choice. If you do reuse the gaskets spray them with something like this http://www.permatex.com/products-2/...-copper-spray-a-gasket-hi-temp-sealant-detail

Don't reuse the head gasket, if its like mine, its not copper/reuseable, its a coated metal, and the coating will most likely separate from the metal when disassembled, I've re-used head gaskets on my Harley, but those are actually copper-based gaskets.
