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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st moly coated piston?

Hey guys, I need to do a topend and want to try a moly coated vertex piston because I have this perception that it's better.....is it? My last two top ends didn't seem to last that long. Those were OEM and Wiseco. Thanks.
 
I'd say try it and see how it works.

I've never done one of their pistons, so I really can't say. I'm pretty much a WISECO guy.
 
Hey ARod,

I would stick with the Wiseco and send the piston to swain coatings and have them do a dry film coating on the skirts and ceramic piston dome coating.

The coating on the vertex piston is just to insure a smooth break in.

I believe the web site is swaincoatings.com

I'll have to agree with this.:thumbsup:

I've used this combo a few times on some really high strung motors with good results. If you feel you need some sort of coating, this would be the way I'd go, IMO.
