Oil filter bolts stripped -'87
'87 XT600....3 long M6 bolts secure / seal the oil filter cover. I modified the one @ 6 o'clock to M8 when it stripped a couple years ago...now the one @ 10 o'clock is failing....any previous experience or advise ( other than less torque when installing!!). Thanks...DH
Ammendment: after posting this thread....several relavant links came up, which gave me a couple options...the best long term replace threads with Helicoils or "Time-sert"s.
Thanks all!
