A follow-up question to my oil change parts thread. I've learnt while doing my oil change that I've inherited a problem with 1 of the 2 bolts, the interior thread (in the bore) is stripped...therefore the bolt threads in okay and just spins, without holding any.
I'm attaching a pic for reference.
Due to the proximity to the cavity for the oil filter, i don't want to attempt a heli-coil. My thoughts have been to get a longer bolt, cut the head off, use some red-threadlock, screw in the stud and let it set. Then use a lock washer and nut?
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanx.
