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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Looks good although I can't get my head round the gloss black...
From the pics it doesn't look like you have fitted the additional lug to the case to match the HVA billet primary case...are you going to ?
Check out the thread '430 case composition' on the main vintage page. It starts and ends about the vapour blasting but wanders off into the realms of magnesium theories in the middle.
Cheers, that looks good. I won't read it until I'm there though. My brain only has finite space and it hurt just now doing comp/squish calcs.Sounds like the motor is reaching completion, don't forget to adjust the timing to the 84 Husky service bulletin. This will insure you don't break the cases again & or your
leg kick these monsters over. Mine has NO kick back now that i've adjusted to the bulletin specs

Ordered one today.Looks good although I can't get my head round the gloss black...

It's well run in so will leave it and see how it runs. Tolerances on rings and piston good, dressed the piston a little so will see how it goes.
I will make one up but thought as its still not complete I drilled a bit of angle to bolt on and used a mag base DTI straight up. I wondered if the plug being at an angle wether that would give a very slightly inaccurate measurement? A bit complicated maths for me.
