So my engine cover was loose never really noticed when I first got the car but went to take it off today and realised seems like the bolts thread is too small for the hole or the thread is completely gone off the inside of the bracket/engine. Is it just the bracket (pictured) that has the thread on or is it the engine? Can I buy a new bracket if so where from? If not can anyone recommend me somewhere to get it fixed so my engine cover will stay on!
you could use a helicoil kit on it. its the thread on the oil breather plate thats been stripped https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25-Piece...558995?hash=item3f8c772853:g:N5YAAOSw0O5aIVRU
that the correct thread size buddy? guess i'll have to give that a try I'm guessing replacing the plate wouldn't help?
