Stripped sump thread! - chunkylover - 22-08-2009 Hey all, was doing an oil change on my busa today. Upon removing the sump bolt i noticed the thread was stripped. A new oil pan is $230 + $16 for the sump gasket. I was thinking of using a helicoil to repair it, but not to sure if they have a helicoil for that size. Has anyone had this problem, and what fix did you do on it? Any info will help. Thanks.

Other options including welding it up and retapping it, or tapping it out to a larger size and machining/finding a suitable plug. I know in adelaide there is a company that specializes in thread repair, I would imagine there would be similar in other states.

Geeze it's nice to know I'm not the only one! What did you end up doing? I am trying to find a helicoil kit for it, no one local has it, M14 x 1.25 (Correct me if i am wrong). Been to nuts and bolt places they all tell me its a spark plug thread. I am planning to do it on the bike. I was thinking of buying a new sump but it might do it again?? Hey Busgo, thanks for that link. It was helpful. I thought i was the only one. lol RE: Stripped sump thread! - Astro - 24-08-2009 (24-08-2009, 03:12pm)chunkylover Wrote:(23-08-2009, 04:36am)Astro Wrote: Chunky... been there, done that... almost bought the T-shirt.
