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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Leaky Oil Fill Cap. I found a Cheap fix

Not to take anything away from site sponsors or anything, but I needed a fix for my leaky cap and could not wait for a billet cap.

So I went to Kragen, CSK, and bought a O ring assortment kit. I also bought some dielectric grease. I grabed the next size larger O ring from the kit and lubed it with dielectric grease and after 3 oil changes, it still holds a seal. I will probably change it with a new one next time, so for less than .04, problem solved. I think the key is the grease. I tried it without and did not have the same results.....

Sorry if this is a repost....Or a rediscovery..
 
You wouldn't happen to recall the size of the O ring you used, would you?

I have an SAE assortment, and maybe one of those would work. Or I could buy a metric set also.
