@356GS (Greg) posted:Guys they are just regular 10mm bolts, not Allen heads and I don't think they even have washers. 6 bolts in the plate that has the oil plug in the plate. One bolt just keeps spinning and won' get tight. Is Loctite going to fix a problem like that, or maybe just a new bolt, or adding some washers (which doesn't seem logical from a design aspect), any other suggestions.
So the one bolt that keeps spinning is stripped. The only solution is the stepped stud that I linked above, and a tap/drill to replace it. Wolfgang's posted article is a step-by-step of what to do.
Bolts into the bottom of the case are a BAD idea, studs are better. Somebody else on here with a type4 found that out the hard way with his header bolted to the heads. The bolts stripped out the soft threads in the head. ALWAYS use studs in aluminum or magnesium.
It's either the stepped stud or a thread insert. And DON'T use a heli-coil, they are JUNK.
If you want to use an insert, use time-certs, a much better fix. It's the right way to do it.
