urgent Help With Superdream Sump

[scottparkin69]

hi
i was changing the oil this morning when i screwed the nut back in metal around the broke of just a the bottom where the threads are so its now leaks badly is there anyway round this a tempary fix or something

i was thinking either getting a longer bolt that goes past the broken part or heatproof sealant of some sort

i have got a spare sump but how easy are these to change

If it's urgent, glue it in with araldyte or similar, but replace the sump asap. Longer bolt won't help.

Changing the sump is normally easy, only complicated by having to remove other stuff (e.g. exhaust) to get to it. But do you have a new gasket to hand? you'll need one.

what ive done as a temp measure is i got a slightly longer bolt for a car sump only about a 1mm longer it slowed it down to a slow drip and a got some leak fix 2 part stuff to stop it almost altogether

anyone know how to change the bottom engine casing on these maybe to avoid stripping it down completely and what special tools i my need any gasgets ill need to change

or anyone round rawmarsh area what to ern some cash and do it for me if so how much

cheers

scott

p.s been quoted £150 by nobbys in rawmarsh labour only as i already have a spare bottom casing
