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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Which Cylinder for 165 kit ?

Hello All !! I'm looking at going the 165 route. My question is what cylinder to use. I have noticed that there is different cylinders listed for certain years & models. What are the differences between them. Is one type more of a stand out than others, pros/cons ? I have access to a 08 WR125 cylinder assy w/head & power valves. Will this one be ok? Any advise is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
 
That one will be great. The older style like that tends to be a bit better on the bottom. They all work well from '98 to 2013 but the older style is just a bit more robust on the bottom than the newer style. I attribute this mostly to smaller but more transfers. This generates more velocity at lower rpms. The newer style probably has a bit of an advantage at peak rpms. The differences are slight though. The biggest issue with the older style is getting power valves. The old style are hard to come by and very spendy to buy new.
 
Thanks for the advice Wally !! I was hoping you would guide me in the right direction. Also how do I tell between the different year cylinders are there any marking to look out for?
 
The old ones have more transfer ports. seven? - new ones 5

Wally, I don't see a link in your profile to your shop info? Do you have a website detailing specifics on your engine services?
