Car Forum / MINI / February 2007Stripped thread
Whilst draining the oil from the sump of my 1989 Mini 998 the thread on the aluminium engine casing for the oil drain bolt stripped. Does anyone know how best to fix this? Is helicoiling an option and is it easily done in situ or can anyone suggest another method?

Hey, helicoiling can be done "in situ" for this job.... it makes it a much better thread than it previously was. Make sure however that you get a professional to do it, as if it's slightly out it can cause problems.... Should only cost you about £20 to get done. HTH Mick Mick, Thanks, a very useful tip. Can you suggest the type of place that do this kind of work? Albert > Mick, > Thanks, for the use of your dick tip.

You thoroughly cleaned the hole, applied a release agent to the bolt, squidged the stuff on and set the bolt in the hole. When the goo set you unscrewed the bolt. I wouldn't like to trust my life to it but, especially if there is a bit of original tread, it might be worth a try even for a temporary fix. It was made by Loctite, I think.

Gives new meaning to "getting lucky" I reckon a helicoil is safer for this application. You wouldn't want to drop 4.5 litres of oil on the road... Not good for the road nor for the mains :-) P I run through the streets, downtown, naked. The fresh air on my nether region is so refreshing that I usually pop a chubby. > I run through the streets, downtown, naked.
