Default Just SOL on the coolant drain bolt!

Am I the only one here that has stripped the treads on their block while removing the coolant drain bolt? Does anyone of you think a machine shop could be able to retap this hole without be diassembling my motor? I am just the unluckies person there is.

They should be able to no problem. However, tapping a hole shaves metal, make sure to change the oil twice otherwise it could get ugly...

Oh my bad, I think it was the crack I smoked earlier.

I thought you were referring to your tranny...

Just flush the coolent system after wards. Remember to open the bleeder... OEM honda coolent gives great step by step details. I recommend the Honda Type 2 coolent.

I hope then that your words of encourangement would still apply even though you were thinking about the wrong part.

Yup OEM coolant, although I still use the Type 1 since I could get 2x as much coolant with the same price.
