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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Had about 6 hrs in on last oil change and decided to drop the oil and clean the filters (magnetic) after bike came back from shop for a bit of a looksy on the valve clearance and a few other things. Well...wondered why I had a hard time putting the screws back into the larger magnetic oil screen cover...closer inspection..a wire protruding. End result...heli-coil had been place inside to repair what must have been a previous stripping. Arrrrrgh...just finished a tool buying spree and decided to just bring it back to shop to get this properly tapped. Any advice on whether i should be continuing with a Heli-coil or some alternate for screws to bite? Dropping off bike tomorrow at noon and any advice is appreciated :thumbsup:
 
so your on about re helicoiling an existing heli? no exp but if you grap the wire with plires you can unwind the existing one and replace if the cut thread is good enough, or over bore hole and fabricate matching plug to suit... good luck bro
 
Heli-coil is for severe thread damage,if you can clean and tap existing threads cool,if not heli-coil do NOT drill hole for better or bigger bolt,,IMO.. Good luck..
 
Not sure of this but I have a feeling they might come stock with helicoils. Mine had them on the oil screen bolt holes. You should be able to pull the old coil out. If u can then tap the hole the same size as the existing bolt. If it is loose then go up 1 mm.
