Stripped oil filter bolt hole
Here's my problem: The ham fisted individual who owned the '90 XT before me decided it would be a great idea to tighten the bolts for the oil filter so tight he stripped the one in the 10 oclock position. I've owned it for about 3 weeks now and decided to change the oil today and discovered the bolt extremely loose. That would explain the ever so slight coating of oil on the left crankcase. Upon attempting to retighten it I found nary a thread to tighten it into. Any Suggestions out there in ultra smart XT land? How far are the threads into the case, can I just get the next longer bolt and get to the threads that aren't boogered up, ETC......... Any help will be a appreciated......
