Dear all
Last week I changed the engine oil of my HH Glamour ( done my a local mechanic). After that there is minute oil leak from the Drain bolt. Today I removed the drain bolt and found that the thread on the engine part has gone. I tried fix a new bolt (same size)but it is slipping after a point. also the leakage is increased.
What the best option for this to rectify.... (I got below options from my friends and from some websites.)
1. Insert a oversize Bolt.
2. Insert Heilcoil and use same bolt. ( Don't know It is available in Bangalore? )
3. Remove the engine part and give to Lathe for rethreading.
4. Replace the Crank cover. ( looks so costly)
5. Use some shellac and fix the same bolt again.
Thanks in advance for your help
