Area Representative Tin Man Posted September 10, 2010 Area Representative Share Posted September 10, 2010 My wife has just collected my sump pan from the engineer's. I needed a timesert fitted as I stripped the thread from the bell housing to the sump pan. In addition I though it would be a good idea to fit the timeserts to the M5 oil pickup pipes as these are very easy to cross thread when fitting. I noticed that they have drilled right through into the sump to fit the inserts. As a result, oil will now be able to leak through the bolts. I can only assume the best option will be to use a Loktite thread sealant to stop this. If so, can anyone advise which sealant I need. The other alternative is to take the sump back & get them to weld up the holes, but I assume the weld will fill in the holes. Does anyone have any idea what would be the best solution?
