RE: [Honda-C70] Crank case threads stripped or something

Jill : Is there any chance when you replaced all the bolts that you get the wrong bolts . Like american thread instead of metric thread. Sad to say if the threads are striped they are in the motor block ,not the cover. It may be possible to retap new larger threads ,but it would be best done by a good machinist. I had a broken exhaust stud in my head & had a hard time getting someone to try fixing it. Finally a machine shop forman said " if we agree that it is junk with no value now & I have no liability if it can`t be fixed ,I will try" . I said yes & he did fix it with an american thread cap screw in place of the stud. Good Luck! Baby Huey

Subject: [Honda-C70] Crank case threads stripped or something

i have oil leaking out of my crank case and i have had oil leaking out of there for a while. I was missing bolts at first so i replaced em all and it still leaks. I thought it was then a gasket but then when i was trying to tighten the bolts a little more, i noticed that how ever much you tighten the bolts they just keep spinning. I know this is definitely NOT smart, but is there a way to rig the case so it won't leak without replacing it. Like maybe sealing off the outside where it joins. any ideas?
