Default stripped oil strainer stud

On my 36 hp, stripped a stud on my oil strainer only to find out it
was a 8mm x 6mm step stud. Looking at the 8mm timesaver insert, just
doesn't seem to leave enough material between the edge of the insert
and the lip of the oil strainer lip. I'd rather NOT use the timesaver
fearing that it could mess up my case (just leave it too weak due to
the lack of material). Anybody run into this problem and offer a
decent/reasonable solution beyond using a longer step stud with a lock
washer? Thanks. - Darren

so the 8mm section is stripped out?
Try some of the epoxy stuff to resecure the 8mm section. Liquid Metal, JB
Weld, even Locktite has something that might work to secure that stud.
I would also suggest you install one of the oil plates with the drain plug
in the center so that you rarely have to take the plate off.

Since I couldn't oversize the 8mm stud to re-use the 8mm x 6mm step
stud, I tried to insert a 6mm timesert in the stud hole. It worked.
Back on the road.

When that happened on the old 1300 engine in my 66 Baja, I used a 6mm
Helicoil. Worked great and I happened to have the stuff on hand so it
was even better.
