• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 seeping out of head gasket

Just wondering if this would simply be a gasket issue, attempted to replace gasket but found out the hard way i recieved the wrong one. Is there any other potential causes for this? Or am i correct in my assumption. It seeps out of the front most side of the cylinder head at the top, and falls right onto my exhaust pipes causing some nice smoke :thumbsdown:
 
Do you have 610 or 630? my guess is 610 for that smoking... In 610 valve adjustment covers are normal place to leak,and bolts that hold them in place does weep also. Put gaskets (or sealer to threads )under bolt heads,and replace broken cover gaskets with new.

I have a 630, it will run for about a minute or so, than after the oil heats up i presume is when it decides to leak out of the head cover. I just recieved a new head gasket from evolutionbike (SWM gasket but should fit).
