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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Oil Filters for the 449/511's

Tinken

Pro Class
I have been testing a compatible stainless steel oil filter for the 449/511 platform. It is smaller in diameter than the stock paper element so there is a little less filter area, but oil will flow around the outside much better to allow for more contact to the mesh and produce higher flow rates. I have been informed that this oil filter will outflow the Hi-Flow fiber oil filters seven to one. On this oil filter, a one inch square of the mesh media will flow 1.9 gallons of cold 90 weight gear oil per minute at only 1 psi pump pressure @68°F.


The 652 filter is actually shorter by 1-2mm. In order to make up the difference, the oil filter company suggested that the new filter must be shimmed. The indent in the back of the filter is 3/4" by 1/8", so in order to increase length you would need a shim that is 1/8 inch + 1-2 mm. I found a low cost shim in the form of a high temperature neodymium magnet that is 3/4" by 1/4". This magnet is very strong and will reduce the fine micron magnetic particles.

I ran the stainless steel oil filter in my MY12 TE511 this morning without a shim. I saw no change or movement of the filter in any way. So it can be ran with or without the magnet, doesn't matter. I will continue to run with the magnet for extra protection, but it isn't required.

Scott's Performance sells a stainless oil filter (K&P Engineering) for 69.95, but I have been offered this one for as little as $19.99.

The purpose of this research is not to convince you to use a stainless steel reusable oil filter. The research was for the availability of affordable stainless steel filters for 449/511 owners.

***** Oil Filter Shims *****

I found a low cost shim in the form of a high temperature neodymium magnet that is 3/4" by 1/4". This magnet is very powerful, almost 10 times stronger than the drain plug magnet and will reduce the fine micron magnetic particles.
Price $7.54

Another magnet I ran across which fits on the front of an oil filter. This will not increase length but will trap fine magnetic particles.
Price $10.99
