89 cabriolet stripped engine block threads for oil pressure sensor
The head on my 1989 cabriolet was replaced approx. one year ago. Recent
increase in oil leaking around sensor threads on rear of engine block. I question that this (disruption of threads) was done at that time. Threads are stripped in block. Can I drill, tap, and use fix a thread or helicoil without disturbing engine oil or coolant flow, or worse yet, both? Also, what size would I drill and thread out to? Thanks for any help or advise that you could give me. -- posted from http://www.motorsforum.com/vw/89-cab...ure-45293-.htm using MotorsForum's Web, RSS and Social Media Interface to rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled and other automotive groups |

All it takes is a few chips in the engine and the $$ you saved doing it yourself all go away. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
