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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fixing oil seep from filter cover - TE250

I just did my first oil change on my 10 te250. Now I have a slight seeping from the oil cover. I removed the cover a second time and cleaned the edges of the cover / case as well wiped down the O ring and still a leak. I saw no sign any damage either on any part.

Short of a new O ring should I have put any thing on the existing O ring first? Also, any idea of what the torque is on the 3ea 8mm cover bolts?

Thanks
 
Not sure about the torque, but it doesn't take much to stop a leak. Just make sure you put the bolts back in the holes they came out of. If I'm not mistaken, they are different lengths. Mine has been sitting all winter, so it's been a while since I did the oil before putting it up. Otherwise, you might need a new o-ring.
