yup i striped out my oil pulg on the case anyone else ever done anything like this? tap it out bigger helicoil or??????
OR, you might be able to find a slightly larger drain plug... for another bike, quad or whatever at a local dealer. Drill and tap case for larger drain plug. Either way, you still find yourself drilling the case a re-taping it.... Not what I'd call fun shit. Good luck Remington.yup i striped out my oil pulg on the case anyone else ever done anything like this? tap it out bigger helicoil or??????
If you're going to thread in another bolt you might want to clean up the threads with a tap the same size as the current bolt first. Then I would flush a little bit of oil through to get any metal out.im pretty sure i cross threaded it and wore out the threads. the first half og the threads are shot but the back half look good but the bolt isnt long enough im gonna try and get a little longer bolt first and see if that will work or else retaping is in my future. im just woried i will have to split the case because it will have some metal in there from drilling it out.
also try and magnetize it this could help i would think?? and when your done stick your magnetic "dropped bolt retriever" in the hole to try and clear it out??? dont know how well these will work since its all metal but i would think the strong magnet would grab up the little slivers fairly well. since the actual magnet would be stronger than any of the case it touched and magnetized i would think it would clear all the shavings pretty wellMaybe put some grease on the tap? So the metal will stick to it.
you'll need an aluminum magnet for this :hey:also try and magnetize it this could help i would think?? and when your done stick your magnetic "dropped bolt retriever" in the hole to try and clear it out??? dont know how well these will work since its all metal but i would think the strong magnet would grab up the little slivers fairly well. since the actual magnet would be stronger than any of the case it touched and magnetized i would think it would clear all the shavings pretty well
It was a good suggestion, but sadly won't work on these engines. Best way is to just flush it. I'd get some cheap motorcycle oil, like napa or something to just flush it a few times, then put the good stuff in it.you'll need an aluminum magnet for this :hey:
Same thing happened on my raptor, I retapped it with lots of grease on the grooves so most of the shavings get stuck in it and then poured about 1 gallon of cheap oil to flush anything the grease missed and done.Maybe put some grease on the tap? So the metal will stick to it.

Agree with both of these.Same thing happened on my raptor, I retapped it with lots of grease on the grooves so most of the shavings get stuck in it and then poured about 1 gallon of cheap oil to flush anything the grease missed and done.
you could also get a buddy to run a shop vac while your tappin the hole.

thats okay they are actually pretty inexpensive and readily available at most wal marts. they are like $2.99 or so, and usually right next to the board strechers (we used to have the new guys go buy one of these if they cut a board too short. kinda sucks they can only be used once and have to be thrown out tho. at $10.00 a piece they add up rather quickly.)you'll need an aluminum magnet for this :hey:
