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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

98 te 610 water in engine.

Hello All, first time posting so please be kind. Seeking some help with a 98 te 610 left kicker. I have a 92 wxe 350 as well which I restored a few years ago so very familiar with the 98 as it is nearly the same and shares many parts. I am restoring the 98 and she is almost done but I am getting water in the oil. I ordered all new seals, 3 for the water jacket, one for the cam, new cam bushing and the aluminum piece that houses the bushing and takes the o ring. The head gasket was replaced, surfaces cleaned, torqued properly. My question is this, on the water jacket that goes through the timing chain, the way I am installing it there is an o ring on the outer most face recessed half way in the engine, half way out to create the compression seal when housing is torqued on. The waterpump gasket's hole is smaller then the o ring and sits on top of it. This does not seem right to me, should I cut the gasket off on the lower part of water pump housing? My wxe 350 uses same gasket and water pump housing but does not have the removable water jacket and it's just a surface to surface seal and the gasket makes sense. Thanks, hope someone can help and hopefully I can help others in the future! IMG_2550.PNG
 
Check for corrosion behind the impeller. Even though your pump is run off the overhead cam, any leaks between internal coolant passages and oil passages will contaminate the engine oil with coolant. You may have such a breach in the head gasket and would not be corrected by replacing seals.
