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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
You need air space in there for things to function properly. The question is how much air or more specifically how much oil is in there. Hopefully, your "guy" replaced the oil when he did your seals (unless that oil is brand new) and measured the correct amount he put in. Next time, take a shot at doing the seals yourself, it's pretty easy once you have the info at hand and a lot cheaper than paying someone to do it. Unless you factor in the time it takes you to do it the first time. Then, it might not be cheaper. You can also make your own tools for measuring fluids and clamps, but that manufactured stuff can be nice.
Maybe you have too much oil as well.
and if you are blowing seals over and over, either you're getting the wrong seals or the tubes are damaged or the oil thing again. Are you jumping things more now?Reads like maybe they either did not change the seals and damaged the old ones taking apart/putting things together or they replaced the seals and damaged them putting it back together. It can be easy to damage the seals. It's an easy job, but if you are lazy they can be comprised.
