     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help - Need a cylinder head for '09 TC250

The head has bearing surface damage.
Inlet can is marked also, cheaper to get 2nd hand complete head if available. ('08-10 the same)
 
Do you really have a 09 TC 250 ? Those were supposed to be a limited release of the first x-lite models only available in Europe. If you look at a 2009 husky parts PDF it only lists the TC 450/510.

It is '10 model bought in '09. (In Australia) Last of the carby fed bikes, but with the newer cyl. head design.
Bucket on shim rather than rocker arms.

There are a couple of earlier heads on EBay, no newer ones.

Also, if anyone has this type of bike, I'd suggest putting a piece of foam in the breather hose that goes up to the frame.
Surface rust inside the frame has fallen into the tappet cover & made its way onto the inlet cam. This is what wrecked the bearing surface, bearing cap & cam! :/
 
This is the young guy's bike.

I was going to get the bearing cap & cam tunnel re-bored & fit a new cam, but the local engineering shop closed down =(
New head is something like $1200au plus the cam & seating the valves.
Not viable at those costs - maybe just part it out.
It is a real shame as it is a great bike.

Here is the head, only this bearing under the breather where the debris fell in is damaged, all the others are like new, so not oil starvation.

These are the rust flakes from the frame that I washed out of the breather tube onto the rag.
(The tube connects to & breathes through the boxing of the frame)
