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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc gasket question

okay yall need to know what gaskets I need to do 165 top end. away at work so not looking at bike & want to order so ready to go when I get home. all I can think of is:

-head orings
-base gaskets(varying thicknesses-do they come in 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.8mm like 250/300s?)
-intake manifold gasket(reed block)
-exhaust manifold gasket(similar to 250/300 where it comes away from cylinder?)
-PV gasket(where the actual valves are not the actuating arm as it doesn't have a gasket)
-ignition/stator cover gasket(not necessary I know but want to check & clean out while im in there)

anything I missed? bit unsure if anything else to do with PV/exhaust manifold?

thanks people, Shawry
 
You need the .8 mm base gasket. I doubt you will need to replace either the exhaust manifold o-ring or spacer. If your head O-rings are still round then they are usable but if they have flattened then not a bad idea to replace them. Not much else to it.
 
is the 0.8mm gasket because of the different cut heads we have Walt? do I bother with squish measurement still or just go with the 0.8mm?
 
The .8mm gasket helps me offset the slight lowering of the ports when it is over bored. I machine the heads accordingly. FYI
 
Hi Shawbagga,
Walt did the kit for me as well and he is probably using the modified head for our shittier fuel. I have still had to use an octane booster (2 additional points making it 100 octane is acceptable) to address slight detonation issues though. I reckon I have the jetting about right now inc a 15 pilot and RM needle.
Because of the very good prices in the US I additionally bought stuff thru Kelly's partner (Mike) in his previous business, including sprockets, spare cables, bearings, pads, WR 150 stickers from Bills, additional fuel petcocks, gaskets, rings for the 150 and pipe and additional pistons and rings for the 165 at the same time, as shipping was only marginally dearer. I maxed out the credit card.

Worth thinking about. I could scan the receipt if interested?
 
ha funny you mention that DUXC as I am waiting for some parts for the 300 & 125 from Mike. waiting for parts to come from Europe. hard to shop locally when we get reemed big time on prices
 
What you getting from Europe. I have not been able to see anything on internet from Europe???? I got the stealth sprockets from mike as well just as cheap ??

Mike was really good. A bit difficult though to combine as Walt, Kelly one shipment. Mike and Bills were another as they are some way apart but the additional local shipping was only $6.00 US. I bought near enough to a grand from Mike for only $60 Us shipping.
