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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Torqued on 3 head bolts, but one will just keep going.

I was torquing the nuts to 55 n-m roughly 40 ft lbs and 1,3,4 went on well but #2 has gone down further on the stud then the others and will keep going, its at about 36 ft lbs and I'm not really sure if i want to continue. On 1 and 4 you can see 2 threads on the nut and on 3 its flush with the top of the threads and 2 is poking up a little bit. Any suggestions or ideas as to why this is? Im kinda thinking I might leave it, and if it over heats I know what the problem is. Any insights would be nice.

1 (left)and 2(right) are on the exhaust cam side, 3 (left) and 4(right) are the intake side. (Sitting on the bike.)
 
thats not good. Clean threads / no oil or lube on the threads as it will allow WAY higher torque to happen than shows on the torque wrench. Does the stud stick out of the head further than the other 3?
