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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Water in oil...still

I'm about to have a conniption fit. Got water in oil. No one local had the seal so I went to a seal and bearing house and got a double lipped seal with the same dimensions and polished up the spacer. Water in oil. So I order from dealer the Husky seal and spacer, put it in and WATER IN OIL. I didn't even start it. I purposely did not put oil in it filled the radiator and left it overnight. Pulled the oil drain and out came about 1/2 to 3/4 of on ounce of water. It would probably have been more but with the cap on it would pull a vacuum. Anywhere else they can get water in trans? It is an 11 wr300 with about 100 hours. It runs great but does seem to smoke a lot when started for a minute or two. But the plug doesn't look like it has water. :banghead:
 
I am installing the o-ring between the spacer and bearing. (kinda fits into the end of the spacer/sleeve) Did I forget one?
 
Yeah that sounds like it. I did mine a year ago and had water in the oil after replacing everything. Took it back apart and the oring was gone. I must have torn it reassembling it. I installed an o-ring from a master link and it's worked fine for a year.
 
Did you repeat the drain procedure again? Just to be sure it wasn't just residual water in the transmission? When I put my impeller back on the shaft I tightened it as best I could with a pair of channel-locks and a rag to protect the fins. I didn't put very much force on it after hearing that they're kind of fragile. I suppose that if it weren't tight it could leak around the spacer o-ring.
 
I didn't even put oil in it. I filled with water and left it overnight. Pulled the drain plug out the next day and water came out, about 1/2-3/4 of an ounce. I then pulled the small clutch cover and clutch and pressurized the cooing system and could watch the coolant drip from the shaft. I put a 14mm seal in it now and it is all sealed up. I don't know how long it will last, but it is easy to check the spacer. Someone on TT said I put the seal in backwards, that the curved metel side goes towards the water. I would swear that it didn't come apart that way, but maybe that is why it failed so early.
