Engine Oil Drain Plug casting broken!! Need Help!
Hello there....
I had left my FZS for an Engine oil change in a Shell Outlet. The guy who had changed the oil has accidentally tightened the bolt, instead of loosening it. The 'bolt' is NOT broken, but the 'casing' on the engine, on which the bolt sits is!
I have it fixed temporarily with an oversized bolt, a larger tapped hole, and some synthetic bonding material. But i definitely know this won't stand for long.
I also know welding is the only permanent fix for this problem. But i just can't go with an idea. I need help! Anyone give me suggestions or directions, as this will probably not be the only case like this on xBHP.
Adios!
