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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc '92 WXC 360 reed valve gasket existence

As the title states: Does the 360 have a gasket between the intake side of the cylinder and the front of the reed valve? I've removed the reed cage in preparation of replacing the reeds and while it removed cleanly and left no evidence of a gasket, it appears that the front (side closest to the cylinder) surface of reed valve has a gasket or gasket material on it. However, when I look at the parts schematic I cannot find evidence of one.

Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards the answer being "no" but if by chance (rather large chance) I'm incorrect I'd like to replace it while I have it apart. Thanks.
 
I can't remember there being a gasket on my '92 360 when I last took it apart but I can check the diagram to be sure when I get home from work..
 
Thanks. I assume if there is in fact no separate gasket, whatever material is on the front of the reed valve serves as a sealing surface. Simply want to confirm that I'm not overlooking anything.
 
I referred to the fiche. I saw no evidence of a gasket, which strikes me as odd. I was just hoping to get advice/opinion from someone with first hand knowledge.
