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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bent exhaust valves on newly rebuilt engine?!

George, do you have any valves available?
Click to expand...
Yes stock a lot of valves but do run out then get more made.
Just a word of warning for anyone out there working on the older Husky's.
NEVER-NEVER assume it is stock with all the parts avalibility problems in the past God only knows what was used to get them running. And he ain't saying.

Just a tought .. Is it possible that I've adjusted the decomp to tight?
when changing the oil I hold the decomp and kick the engine över 8-10 times to get all old oil out..

Is it possible that the decomp opens that much?

Maybe a stupid question, but everything feels weird with this engine/rebuild..
 
Anything is possible but should have felt decomp lever moving.
This motor has the cam rocker opening both valves.
Newer 04 and up decomp only opens the Rh exh valve.
