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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Crushed oil filter

Oil was dark brown in the pan but if I dipped my finger in it, it was still pretty light. Not black at all like car oil.
 
Always put mine in dry and have only seen that happen after getting water in the oil - was amazed that the oil pump could actually do that.
What is the risk of pump damage when this happens ?
Not to mention the obviously reduced engine oil flow...
 
The filter looks really dirty to me too. 170 miles was the first oil change? If so there must have been tons of manufacturing debris in there. Me personally I change the oil after the first hour of run time then after the second hour during break in. Once it starts coming out clean I begin changing it per the recommended intervals. Stuff like this would scare the crap out of me. You are more brave than me. I hope the engine is unharmed.
 
Bad oil filter? Any metal on the screens?

Did it possibly twist when removed?

Did it get put in wrong at the factory?
 
It was wrong from the factory. As far as metal in the screens very minimal. Magnet too had very little debris. The filter is so tough I tried bending it back by hand and it didn't move. I talked with BMP and the plan is to run it 50mi And recheck the filter. I'm new to the 511, but it seems to be running fine. I have nothing to compare too. Any one live in the south puget sound are with a 449/511. I'd love to compare.
