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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 TC250 300HR ring replacement

I think it's time I finally replace the rings on this Husky bike. I purchased it with ~50 HRs on it and it was using some oil then ... I've rode it and added ~250HRs of my own to the bike ... And yep, the oil usage has gotten worst but the bike always runs very well I think ... If the bike blows any blue smoke, I've never seen it and the plug looks OK the last time I checked it ... So I have no clue where the oil is going on this new fangled 4t rig. Seems up around the 8-9K RPM mark is what makes the most oil disappear ...

Has anyone changed rings or tore one of these engines apart? I see no real issues other than:

1) Timing the engine back after the rings have been replaced.
2) Ring gap placement when the new rings are placed on the piston.

Thanks for any help on this work. I'll try and add pics of the process.
 
No clue on that but I did have to replace my head gasket. I also had to take the water pump off which i found the gaskets for my water pump split in half. Also, the head gasket is a crush gasket and if you dont have one you may want to pick one up. It would just suck to pull it all apart and then find out you need to deal with all that again.

Sure you already have it but the manuals are at...
