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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Really tore into the 630...

If I remember correctly, the manual sez to replace both cam gears, but the one on the crank shaft?? Nobody does this, do they, or is it removeable without tearing the engine all the way down. That's the one that probably gets the most wear, like the countershaft sprocket. Just curious.

The gear on the crank is not removable. Confirmed by Hall's.

So it looks like he didn't use a fancy press for the rivets, he just heated them up and bashed in the end to flare them?

Plenty of divots in the rivets so maybe used an air hammer? I see the gear ring got bashed in a few places also. Overall not pretty but looks solid and functional which is all that matters.
