  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Another Piston Thread

Yup I was there. That was a great ride. I was wondering if you were there. Once your up and running we should meet up for a ride. I mainly run singletrac at a mellow pace.
Let me know if you want a hand measuring your piston and cyl as I have a set of micrometers and a dial bore guage.
Good luck with your project
 
Thanks. I bought all the parts already and am just waiting for them to come in next week.

That was a ton of single track. I was shot afterwards.
 
I FINALLY order my parts, but I went OEM from Hall's. After talking with the shop doing the Nikasil plating, www.powersealusa.com , Power Seal and following their suggestion I went with OEM parts and staying with the "A" size my cylinder currently is.


Mike Bru and PaulD, You guys breaking the "Fight club" rules?!!?!?
 
Woo-hoo!!! I'm making blue smoke again! She fired on 3rd kick. Let it idle for two 5 minute sessions. Sounds real good. Topped off coolant ready to go put around the woods easy for a while. Lots of Damn snow in the trails tho. Gonna run a full tank easy at 32:1 before letting her rip

Nice. My Wiseco stuff is back ordered until 2/20, as of now. Ordered a week ago.

Where did you order it from? I like to search for the part number then look for the same part at Amazon.com and they all ways have fast shipping and usually the best prices.
 
I used mrmotocross_parts off of eBay. When I ordered it said they had 2 in stock. Then told me inventory wasn't updated fast enough with walk in customers. Whatever. I'll wait it out since I wont be riding until March anyway.
 
So while I'm waiting for the piston kit to arrive later this month I opened the Athena gasket kit. It has 2 identically shaped base gaskets (name correct?), one thicker than the other.

Do I just measure the existing one and match it?

I'm not looking to change power characteristics or anything like that. Thanks.
 
Mike I ran into the same issue. The thicker of the two measured exactly the same as my old one so I went with it. Was gonna do the squish measurement but didn't have the correct adapter for my dial indicator. It is running great. Don't hear any pinging or knocking.
 
I had the same in my package. Used the thicker gasket as the one that came off was closest. I figured there was very little to gain performance-wise vs. the issues that come up with going the thinner route. I even considered throwing them both on for a second, but decided to not mess with a good thing. Hoping you get it back together soon. I'm going riding this week for sure knowing I've had 5+ hours of solid performance thus far with this piston.
 
Thanks, I'll do the same.

15 degree high with a lot of wind chill in NJ this weekend. Even if it was together, I'm not going to lie, I'd be inside!
 
Think it was around 110 thou like over 2mm wich is where the squish is doing nothing!
Hence me getting mine to actually do what its supposed to.
