I Rung the threads for the oil feed...help and advice needed

[Dean_Doherty_1990]

So basically as above, the threaded hole in the engines block for the oil feed, well I have rung the threads inside the hole so the banjo bolt for my oil feed wont tighten and when I tighten it a little and start the car all the oil just pisses out the hole as its not a tight seal to withstand the oil pressure


How can I go about re-threading the hole, will I thread it a slight bit bigger and get a slightly bigger banjo bolt or what,
I really hope someone can help me, thanks

Dean

what a company down here in cork do is drill it out re thread it screw a spark plug in drill that out and tap it the size for your banjo works well no a few ppl that had it done and they do it without having to take the engine out or anything

Um cork is a bit car to travel although thats not a bad idea, wonder is there anyone up this end of the country could do it, ill keep researching, cheers lad

i'd say any good engine machine shop would give it a shot

can't you get a heli coil in there?

would be easier and safer if you just removed the adapter from the block and took it to an engineering place. should be able to helicoil it i would have thought.
