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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Is this Billet or Forged?

I bought the oem because wiseco discontinued them for the 510. The price costed me 400$ for that piston assembly and it's too shiny to be cast.
 
Machined forging, flip it over and that's the way to really tell between cast and forged.
Not a machined billet though.
 
Ah gotcha, thank you! :thumbsup:

For installment, can I throw in slight film of 2 stroke premix to lube the rings and pin or would that be too much and foul up the plug?

thats how you assemble a top end. i always use a light film over piston and cylinder surface on a new topend job.

wait a second, this is a fourstroke! no need for 2 stroke oil..just use a light film of whatever oil the engine is going to run.
 
most cam mfgs have a specific lube for cams, might want to invest in some if your going to b doing the valve train too
