• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 have resealed the tappet covers really well, all torqued down etc and my 610 while a bit better is still PISSING oil out the top!! ... enough to spray droplets on my RHS pants leg on long trip! WTF? I recall some talk of the oil finding it's way up the bolt threads etc?? Where is it coming from?

What is the definative fix? - I also hate the look of an engine seeping oil and friends all point and ask!
 
are you sure it's coming from the covers? i had this problem a while back but doubled up the gaskets and it solved it. oh hang on, i also put a smear of instant gasket over the join of the head and the cylinder block. could try that. i guess you need to find exactly where it's coming from. apparently talcum powder is good for that...
 
I also put gasket maker with when i do the covers -- one needs to also look at the oil breather pipe that goes into thye frame --here in SA they tend to perish fast ?
 
It's the threads. I just did my valves and it was leaking pretty bad before, but after putting a smear on the threads it stopped 100%
