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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Doin me head in!

Nice easy one this.

It looks like the head and piston changed design slightly at the end of the 05 model run and continued onto the early 06 model run. TE 250

I've discovered this because I have bought a new (second hand) TE 250 '05 engine complete so I can rob the head of it.

It turns out that it has a shorter piston, with only one ring, a different shape on top of the piston where the recesses are and obviously a slightly longer con rod to allow for the shorter piston. oh and a bare metal clutch cover instead of grey.

My query is this. Will the heads (only) be interchangeable.

Thank you
 
I can tell you, from looking at the parts catalogues, that 2005 and 2006 have a different part# for the cylinder head. The valves also have different part numbers.
 
Thank you George. This was my suspicion as the valve pockets are defo bigger and appear closer to the edge. Do you know which engine is newer and or better? The one with 2x rings and the shorter con rod or the other? Thanks again

I am now thinking of repairing my old head. The biggest prob is the valve guides have fallen out on one of the inlet valves. I know the old valve, although looks OK is pobably not a good idea to re install. Also I have heard the guides are a real pain to get back in and you need some special tools?
 
Guide bores probably need welding up then remachined, new guides installed then seats cut or replaced then recut. All doable . Known as Old School Thinking (fix it) New School (buy new).
Later george
 
Old school, probably cheaper than welding up, make oversize guide, ream out hole in head for interference fit, heat the head and press new guide in. re-cut valve seat and possibly re-use the old valve.
