Stud stripped on my 1600 cc oil billet cover plate
One of the studs that holds the billet oil cover plate (drain plate)
is stripped. We removed the plate to clean the oil strainer. My son was torqueing the cap nut to 5 ft pounds. As he turned the torque wrench he said, "Dad, the nut just got easier to turn". I backed it off and there was no shavings, so I am guessing that it had already been stripped. The plate was not leaking oil before we loosened it, nor has it since, but I am sure it is a matter of time. My question: I looked on Aircooled.net and could not find replacement studs. Can they be replaced? If so, where can I find them? Or should I simply re-tap the stud and get a smaller nut? One more question on the same lines. I could not find replacement gaskets and brass washers sold as a set on Aircooled.net. I did find a complete gasket set, but I felt it would be a bit wasteful to buy them all. Thanks for you help.

I got a small Craftsman metric tap set at Sears. Here are some oversize studs at cip1.com http://www2.cip1.com/SearchResults.a...ularity&Page=5 You might want to call them for the size needed for an oil sump plate stud replacement. |

Hi.There is a tool out there that consists of a knerwed,offset disc with a
hole in it attached to a handle.The stud goes thru the hole,when you press the handle the offset disc tightens on the stud.I think I saw it at Sears,but it could be the tool sale I went to.
