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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Broken Spark Plug in Head

Began to fit recently received Zipty Racing Recirc Kit (thanks Tinken for getting it moving :thumbsup:), all was going quite well, decided to inspect the spark plug whilst having full access to it. Pulled it out, inspected, when screwing back in I heard a very slight metal type cracking sound and immediately thought WTF? Pulled spark plug out and discovered that the threaded body of the spark plug still threaded into the head, but disturbingly the remainder of the plug in my hand? I hadn't placed much pressure when screwing back in at all, I'm thinking that the plug was faulty from the factory. After a few painful attempts with other means to extract the threaded body, I've resorted to completely removing the head, I though well after 4,500km racked up in mileage, won't hurt to inspect anyway. Anything similar happen to anyone else?

That's a new one on me! Don't you just hate it when a bit of routine maintenance turns into nightmare!!
 
Never saw that happen to a plug ... Sucks and totally un-called for .... What brand is that plug?

Also, that bottom part of the plug that stayed inside the head might could be loose if you can find some way of turning it after you get the head off ... Maybe you get turn the bottom part and screw it through the head...

NGK Iridium CR9EIX. I should be able to get it out, I didn't place too much pressure when reinstalling it, so fingers crossed.
