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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Great question...But how does it apply to this thread?![]()
No, he has been randomly posting youtube links in all sorts of threads. I moved one of them to 'ride planning' and made a post suggesting to stay on topic in threads.I think he is demonstrating kissing rocks with the skid plate to show his intrest in the oil cooler location ?
Well I can't sleep thinking about poking a hole in the coverI have allready thought of 3 different ways I want to make the oil pickup. My newest idea involves a $3.50 brass hose barb and some Blue Magic Quick Steel putty that's rated for 500 degrees .. No welding !
My thinking for not sending the oil through the cooler and to the head was to avoid starving the head for oil at startup. But now that I've said that, I realize that an anti-drainback checkvalve could be put in the cooler inlet side. The point is moot for me though, as after talking with Bill (BMP) I don't need an oil cooler unless I move to somewhere else.
I don't see that as a real issue, there's a nice pool of oil up there for start up and it will only take a split second longer to get oil up there than it would with just the hose that's there. I'm thinking something like this.
I would to but I have never done brass to aluminum and that might mess the coating on the cover ?I would braze it.
I think the skid plate will pull more heat out of the oil than that thing . Half inch aluminum tubing with lots of weld to the skid plate . Two or three strait sections two or three inches long welded in safe areas on the skid plate plumbed together with 3/8" hose barbs 1/4 " MPT is my plan.I believe he wanted this:

I don't think it would harm the anodizing, but it would open up the possibility of aluminum AN fittings to your magnesium cover.I would to but I have never done brass to aluminum and that might mess the coating on the cover ?

Will 60/40 lead acid core work on magnesium ? How would you go about brazing it ?I would braze it.
