Volks,
Some time ago, in Phred's distant and troubled past, some goof-ball,
air-gun-toting, quicky lube-jiffy change,
looking-for-the-engine-under-the-FRONT-of-the-bus type, mechanic (HA!!),
musta cross threaded the oil drain plug back into the case (or maybe it was
a dealer tech...?). Anyhoo... there's a heli-coil in the hole, as I found
out over the weekend, and the copper crush washer used with the drain bolt
does not seem to seal very vell, resulting in little drips of oil that my
two-year-old started playing with today.
Is it possible to get these crush washers in different sizes? List
vendors? Or just FLAP-it...?
