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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Valve check vs manual decompression

I have a 2006 te510. Doing a valve check today everythng checks out fine except exaust on manual decomression side (front right looking forward) have no clearence "0" even after reducing by .006 thinkness on shim. I know it's not that far off. Is the decompresser doing somthing thats yankin my chain? Thanks. :banghead:
 
FYI, Decompression cam lobe was contacting rocker arm tab. I turned engine over via the starter with plug in place assuming this would create enough compession to trip cam lobe in correct running position , didn't fly (found out auto decomp. is dissengauged by motor rev's). So I had to phisically move decomression cam off rocker via flat head screwdriver. Never had this happen before, Hope it's not a future problem with my auto decomp. It was new to me so I thought I would state my findings.
 
Were you able to get a different clearance reading after jinking with the decompressor ?
 
Yes fell right inline with the other exaust setting.006\.008 using 2.20 shims in my case. Sorry should have stated that.
