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?
Thanks,
Albert |

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.

FWIW. I saw a product the other day for replacing stripped threads. It was
an epoxy cement. 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.
