Tony M Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 I picked up a banshee this last weekend and today i was doing a tune up plugs, coolent, transmission... And i dont know if i did this or the previous owner did but the bottom thread of the drain plug in the engine block is stripped and i cant get a good start in the block. The theads on the plug is fine but i just cant get a good start with out it tightening up... Any suggestions, i dont know what to do so i dont screw it up. Quote
thomas h. Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 My brother striped his out and a atv shop in Escondido ca called Yakkey racing charged 50.00 parts and labor for a heli coil install. We drove to pismo 20 mins later. Short for that you could chase it. Take the plug to a tool place and order the chase or the heli coil kit. Quote
ticktock Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Helicoil is the proper fix Adam Quote
Coupelx Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 helicoil is the correct way but an oversize self threading drain plug from an auto parts store would work. Quote
