[QUOTE="kcmoto, post: 624541, member: 40431"] Ok, this is my logic for now. I want a solution that removes the least amount of material from the crankcase. Non drill solution I can use the expandable plug solution, but may have to replace after X number of oil changes so the total eventual cost may be a problem. Will have to actually find the plug to determine cost. Drill solution tapping to the next size is still under investigation vs heli coil, timesert, or other insert solution. Under this scenario, I wonder if tapping to the next size will remove less material than using any kind of insert. If so, I would choose to tap to the next size and buy a new oil plug. If for some reason, the thread becomes stripped again, I can utilize the insert solution and use the original size oil plug. Does the above logic sound correct? I still need to verify that tapping to the next size will indeed require less material removed so that I can utilize an insert solution in the future if necessary. thanks for all the feedback.
