• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone else having trouble with their primary covers weeping?

Is it me or are these new gaskets seem thinner than Original?

I think it's more that the Magnesium cases warp, after 35+ years, + the gasket thickness stink too
 
When I disassemble an engine, after the bearings are out I clean the surfaces on a surface plate with a sanding belt on it. Nice and flat and no leaks, with the paper gasket.

If they are cometic gaskets I've had nothing but trouble with them. Super thin andfragile. I like the old paper style

You Nailed It!! It was a Cometic gasket.
I called Halls and was told they are making them thicker now.
So I ordered one Yesterday got it and installed Today.
They are still Cometic gaskets but are noticeably thicker.
