• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm rebuilding my 430 ae motor and changing the head gasket.
It is told in the handbook to put some loctite gasket on the
new head gasket you install.
I'm a bit surprised.
Do you put some loctite gasket on yours ?
Thanks

Yes.
I put a Tiny amount of liquid sealing on the gaskets.
Do as the Manual says.
 
The head gasket is designed for the origional bore. Doesn't it stick into the squish area of over bores? I never used any gasket compound for sealer but do something to make it certain at least the gasket is centered. I spend more effort on the base gasket the head must be pretty simple as I don't really recall fussing with it.
 
OK. I've also installed a paper gasket on the oilpump, but it leaks.
On auto there's not an O-ring on Water pump.
So , I've put only loctite gasket.

On regular gaskets I put a thin layer of silicone on one side. This seals and allows the part to be removed and replaced if needed without damaging the gasket.

On all my other breadbasket I use the permeated hi-tac tack spray sealant on both sides.
 
Yes , a metal part around the bore for the head gasket.
But one side has a bigger part of metal.
How the head gasket must be mounted ?
