Anybody else have the joy of stripping the casing threads where the oil drain bolt goes? The local shop here says they can fix it with a Hellicoil for cheap. Man, my heart dropped and I thought I was gonna have to replace the entire casing.
Anybody else have experiences dealing with stripped threads on bolts or in the holder?

Yah, I considered doing it myself, but the price I was quoted was around $40. I figured that is a pretty small hit to take.
sounds right to me... taps = $$
if you can afford it just get a tap set i believe they are worth it
are hellicoils oil tight?

When I phoned the shop, and told them my problem, right away they said I needed a Hellicoil, and that it's not a big deal to do. So I'm gonna assume they're made for exactly that purpose (to be air and liquid tight). It's only a half hours labour and there is a better chance they won't screw up vs. me doing it myself.
helicoils work, but id take a regular thread over one anyday. you dont even really have to have one, all an oil plug is, is a bolt with a rubber seal on the washer, all you need to do is drill and tap the hole 1 size bigger, get 1 size bigger bolt than your oil plug currently is, and get a rubber seal washer.

you have to replace a hellicoil when you take it off, it is aluminum and it will strip easy. and its actually only about 5 mins labor, all you do is put it on and srew the bolt in.

thats why i dont like them though, im not sure theyre aluminum, but id rather just have a hole and not replace them everytime
