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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Did I fudge up?

Hi just did my cam gear and chain got it all back together. Then decided to drop the bike of the jack to position it in better light to do the valve clearances piled back on the handle bars to move it and it was in gear is there any way I jammed the valves down to hard because I had to back the adjusters off quite a bit to get to .002
 
I should say is it possible to do damage by the rocker arm being to hard on the valves not having the .002 of clearance between the the two
 
I think you're ok. If your cam timing is correct you shouldn't have touched a piston. Beyond that, only other thing would be coil binding a spring and you'd have to be really tight.

Was pretty tight:( timing is spot on I spun the engine and checked timing marks five times before putting rockers back on. I guess it will run like shyt if I mangled it.
 
It took almost a month but its done! :) valves were fine dirty but fine. Bike runs so much smother.
