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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I just had RB do my 144 head. Stock squish was 1.22mm. It is .9 now. He said the shape of the squish band is good on the Huskys so he only had to mill the head which is only $45.

My stocker has a coating on mine. I think that's what your meaning?
 
No - if you look at the original piston and parts of it below the rings are blackened
I believe that this is a sign that the rings were worn and allowed some of the combustion to escape to sides of piston
 
Sorry Darin I see what you mean now. OEM pistons have a grey coating thats worn down in parts
Walt my eyes are going too dont worry
Is B the size of the piston ? anyone know what size differences are?

I rode Marks (nwrider) bike yesterday. Feels about like every other 144 husky i have ridden but Ryans (RPMguy) which ripped the head off everything else i have ridden. Mark has an EME pipe, 144, race gas, PWK and RB designs head. Mine is stock other than a 144 and PWK and truthfully felt about the same in fact mine might have more mod. I know it does with the Doma but not with the stock pipe.
 
Mark has gone the whole hog which i am surprised about as he has said he is more of a trail rider . I guess we always want that little bit more.
Can you really tell a bike performance with one ride though ? Bikes run best at certain times- conditions.
Why was Ryans bike going so well?
 
My bike was running a little better on pump with the stock head then it was yesterday. I need to spend some hours jetting now. But it was pouring rain all day so I just left it alone.

Even with .3mm taken off the head it still only has 180psi cold so if I decide to stick with race gas I am having more head work done. If I can not get it to run a lot better though I will probably go back to pump, or maybe a mix.

I really do not need more power but I hope to get instant throttle response. It just makes the bike more fun to ride. I think a CR ignition might help there also.
 
Cr - ignition - yeh definately refer my other thread - I am considering buying a bike just for the ignition and to have spares
