Mayday! Mayday! 1999 TE410 cam gear desperately needed.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

As the title says - had the bolts come loose in my upper timing chain (cam gear) gear - bending the gear in the process while causing general badness inside my engine. Turns out Husky no longer makes the part (part number 8000 76461).

I know that all 410's from '97 until 2000 use the same gear...not sure about years outside of that.

If you have one, or know of anyone breaking a 410 engine, please let me know. This upper timing chain gear or camshaft gear is the last piece I need to put the engine back together.

Thanks in advance,

Squish
