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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Whats the story on these metal head gaskets? Use once and toss or can these type head gaskets be used 2-3 times?
 
This is a great story line.. 2 stroke I always went twice unless it was a heat failure or blow up repair.. but the way a 4 stk has to be torn down it wouldn't pay to save the 40-50 bucks and have to tear it down for giggles..lol Just my thoughts.

I know the 2010 TE 250 I had the choice of 3 thickness's

Hi Ray I just finished putting the TXC 250 back together andI wondered the same thing and decided to reuse the gasket mainly because it was a steel one and it would have looked no different to a new one if I had bought one same goes for the base gasket.
I found another drama with the engine and that was that the camchain drive sprocket on the crank slipped on and off with fingers and thought that wasnt right, checked manual to confirm and showed hitting it on with a drift. To confirm my suspicion the woodruff ked was fairly worn and I could rock the sprocket back and forth. Imagine what would happen to the valves if it sheered off and lost drive******************************************************************************** still researching it at this stage but cant help to wonder if there are any others out there the same ??
 
I've never saw a gasket like that before but I'm not big on engine work so they might be common ... They look pretty durable ... I don't see how one could ever blow ...

What about that key? Did you just go to a Hardware store and purchase a new one?
 
The head gasket is the original and is 3 layers of very thin softish metal coated in some sort of grey coating.
Didnt get a new key in time for ride today so locktighted it and sprocket in only for this ride have to sus out if sprocket is meant to be finger push on fit, I don't think so, but noticed there was less cam timing train noise upon first start up. They are a bit noisy normally but I thought mine was a bit worse before.
