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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SMR 510, Opinions on Maintenance

I need some opinions. My 2007 SMR 510 has 27,000 KM on the clock. The previous owner did the timing chain, cylinder and piston at 10,000 km and I replaced the piston at 17,000 km. The manual suggests connecting rod, bearings, and valves. I really don't want to do headwork unless I have to, and the valves haven't moved at all in 10,000 km since I adjusted them when I put the piston in it. I haven't found any metal shavings or anything out of the ordinary in the oil and I change it every 1000 km, or more often if I get the engine wet.

Do you guys think I should change the con-rod and big end bears for peace of mind and longevity or am I wasting my money?
 
The Italian big blocks were one of the greatest engines ever installed in the huskys. These engines can and will go for a long time before needing any major engine work. I would say send it
