so they are reliable enough to be used on something as vital as an oil plug?

 

yeah man they are made for stripped oil plugs.. I wish I could find a decent picture to link this too Grrrr.. They work good if you get the right size I had one one time that had a little lever on it when you snaped it shut the plug got fat.. made changing my oil so fast.. Like i said if you get the right size it shouldnt leak a drop.. check um out

 

oh! like the little plugs for smaller boats, i know exactly what you mean. that makes sense, those things work great. what ive heard is just getting a self tapping bolt and make your own hole and threads . i plan to do that soon. i just dont know about trusting a rubber plug on oil... especially the way i ride so hard and rough.
