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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I made this so I can see my oil pump working.
This ain't your off the shelf Home Depot plastic tubing. I have already made one change but I'm rocking this one until those materisls arrive.

woaah there! is exhaust heat not a problem for the pipe? would also hate too see hot oil spray onto an even hotter header pipe!! mabe some heat wrap on the header at the very least. just trying to help. cheers regards nigel.
 
Can you throw a one way valve in at the bottom so it pressurizes up top more quickly?

I don't think it is a problem as long as oil is inside the tube. It's like a radiator tube that runs past the exhaust.
Whats interesting is, if you had a styrofoam cup full of water and placed it on a red-hot piece of steel, the styrofoam would stay intact as long as it had water inside. As the water boiled off, the cup would slowly melt down. Similar principal with the oil line as long as it contains oil. Though if you turned the engine off and the oil drained down, the tube would run the risk of melting.
 
Hey, that's fun! What prompted this? Does that model have oiling issues and visual conirmation gives a higher confidence level?

Not making fun, just curious...:excuseme:
 
That tube material can take the temps no problem as well as several thousand PSI.
But the next line will be routed like the oem one.
 
It needs to go into the bottom cap of your radiator, spin around inside multiple coils and then back out to your head. You would increase both engine life and your hp output. :)
