Default Re: Best fix for stripped sump bolt hole.

Your best option now that a helicoil has failed would be

See what size the hole is now .
Then look at a thread chart , see what thread suits that size hole .
Cut a new oversize thread .
have an insert made up to screw in that hole as a plug
or use it as an insert with a smaller thread for a plug machined in the centre
