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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kibblewhite (KIMP) valves any good? (SMR 510 2009)

Hello,
my cylinder head will need a rebuild. One of my exhaust valves is finished. (the clearance moved about 0,3mm/0,012 in 30hours while the other three didn't move a bit).
I'm now looking into sourcing parts. From what I've found I can either get "oem" SWM valves or kibblewhites, I haven't found any other alternatives, so please advise if you know of any reputable brand making valves fo these engines.

Does anybody have any experience with these kibblewhite valves? They are stainless steel for both intake and exhaust and come with their own spring kit that compensates for their extra weight. There are many conflicting reviews about these online, but i guess the issues come mostly from bad installation.

I'm also not sure about SWM parts. I ordered some parts recently and the quality control is definitelly not ideal.

Thanks for any input
