Hey Everyone,
It's been a rough weekend. Long story short, I stripped the oil drain plug on the first oil chage of it's rebuild. I don't think much care was given to correcting it during the rebuild proccess. The bolt that was used in it, is 1/2 wide on the thread end, which is already bigger than a stock one. What is the best way to get my car back on the road. Tell me what I need to get and do to fix it. Thanks Chris |

If you use grease to keep the chips in one place, use a light grease and solvent to flush the case out. Oil will not flush the grease out until it gets hot.
I would put a few PSI air through the oil breather to have positive air flow as well. Spiral flute taps do a way better job at pulling the chips out than a standard tap as well, but they will be twice the price. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/2XTP3 http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/2XTR1 |
