<p>I took out the oil drain bolt out of the aluminum crankcase and threads came out with it. It now will not tighten back up. There is not room to drill and re-tap without pulling the engine. Does anyone have experience with a self tapping oversized bolt to correct this problem?</p> <p>2006 Stratoliner Pete Reno</p>
