I gave the quad a service today, it all went as planned but when i tried to screw in the rear most oil drain plug back into the block it has some how broken off some of the thread inside the block. when i managed to get the bolt back out there were thin pieces of metal stuck in the thread of the bolt.
The bolt doesnt look stripped which has got me wondering if the case maybe weak or something
I wasnt rough when i installed it, the bolt had oil for lube on it so im a little unhappy with the whole outcome. But.. does anyone know if it is safe to run a helicoil up in there for a new thread, attempt to re-tap it or bite the bullet and blow $1600 AU on a complete new crank case..
any suggestion would be great
