anyone ever strip the oil cooler resevoir drain bolt, i got some bad luck, the bolt is ok/ however the hole the bolt screw into is striped half way down the hole, how could i fix this problem within two days for hunting season

please help

 

try to case the threads with a thread chase if its not alluminum.. i really dont know if it is =.. or just apply thread locker and ram the thing in there.. thats what i woould do.. but its propaply not the right thing

 

it's aluminum, i will try anything at this point im disgusted with my self righty tighty lefty lucy, i don't know why i went the wrong way i was in a hurry and getting ready to go to work

 

You might try taking the drain plug to a napa store and see if they might have a self tapping bolt, next size up, that would work.

You will need a new crush gasket also.


Engine oil tank drain bolt is only 18 ft-lb

 

You will need to install helicoils or some similar hardware. Availabe at my Napa around the corner and most other places that sell high quality hardware.
