• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

gaskets and seals

Halls has cometic gaskets, which has some of the best gasket material made - they will have seals also
 
Be careful if you are considering an Athena gasket kit, lots of them come with no head gasket.

Water cooled bikes have a gasket don't they? Haven't rebuilt one of those yet. Air cooled just lap your head in with valve lapping compound for a good seal
 
Yep, the water cooled ones sure do have a gasket, and the Athena kits do not include a head gasket in their engine gasket kit.
Kinda dumb?
That would make it a partial gasket kit wouldn't it?
The only logic I can possibly think of is that it is possible to remove the cylinder and head as one assembly without removing the head from the cylinder, personally I prefer to replace old gaskets on any water cooled engine.
Just a heads up for anyone looking for liquid cooled gasket sets, not relevant to this post though!
Tony.
 
The workshop manual lists most bearing and seal sizes. Use your local supplier for these. Remember to buy Viton double lip seals for the mains. DO NOT buy budget, spend a bit more on quality. Gasket sets can be had from a few sources in the U.S.
 
Metric seals Inc. has the viton crank seals they are very nice to deal with also. I think they are in Indiana or something close to there.
 
Did a total rebuild and Halls had everything I needed. They will spend time on the phone with you to make sure you have exactly what you need.
 
Hall's also takes PayPal, which is very cool because most of my hobby money comes from other stuff I sell.
 
Do you have. Link to Halls ? You speak of them lime everyone should know Halls and I don't but need gaskets and seals....please help with a better description or linkage to their shop...thank you in advance..
