Dropped the motor on my street car for hell hole rust repairs. As long as I had the motor out, thought I'd fix a few oil leaks, which I thought were mostly old push rod tube seals having given out. Just discovered the bolt that holds the oil pickup tube is stripped. That will definitely be a leaker too. The real fix for this is to of course split the case and heli-coil the stripped threads. Really didn't want to go there. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix for this that DOESN'T include splitting the case?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Andrew B. |

Unless it has "syndrome" you can use a longer bolt to cheat a little bit, and get some new threads. The issue with this is, pieces of the old threads that are damaged can end up in the oil sump.
If it has syndrome, tear it down. |
