Hi folks,

Has anyone inserted a helicoil for the long bolt on the outside of the filter cover? If so, did you need to remove the oil strainer cover (sump)? The reason I ask is that this bolt goes through the strainer and into the crank case by the looks of it. Just hoping I can get away without removing the strainer cover to insert a helicoil. Problem is knowing how far to drill, tap and wind in the coil.

Thanks for any advice,

J.

Is this the M10x1.25 long tank drain bolt ? Or the M6 one.

Worth trying a stud first? 6mm studding inserted with some loctite to catch the good threads behind the damaged. Can saw off the remaining studding once the lactate has set all back together.

Take off cover poke a bit of wire in hole to get depth, take off 2mm, set your drill stop to that depth or use a piece of tube over drill to make a stop. Off you go. Helicoil size is 6.3mm

Thanks for replies, any gotchyas with removing the strainer cover? From the parts diagram, looks like there are a few components in there that may prove difficult to get back in place. Presumably it needs a new gasket on re-assembly?

Cheers,

Soo, exhaust is nearly off. Managed to get all the header bolts off, but pipes corroded into exhaust ports and can't make the buggers move. Does anyone know where the o2 sensor connector is located?

Thanks 😊

Nevermind the sensor plug. Anyone have any ideas on getting the headers out of the exhaust ports. All the studs are out as well as the bolt into the frame underneath, but the headers will not move. I've never experienced this before. Normally the studs are the difficult bit.

Dribble some brake fluid around them (it's a great creeping penetrating fluid), let them soak a few hours, then use a computer keyboard 'air duster' inverted - the liquid which comes out goes down to temperatures as low as -50C I believe.

 

And then after the clever stuff, if it doesn't work, go back to using brute force and ignorance

Finally the headers ard off, thankfully without damaging the ports. I can get on with the original job of thread repair now (assuming I can get the oil strainer cover off). Thanks for the help and suggestions folks.
