[QUOTE="fjr vfr, post: 940726, member: 3127"] The threads on my bike stripped after many oil changes around 100,000 miles. I installed a Heli-coil which worked fine. I've since replaced the engine at 117k miles due to transmission issues, but that's another story. The thing I wanted to say is, the engine case has a slot in the threads which allow the oil to drain completely. When you install the time-sert or heli-coil they block this slot. When you drain your oil in the future you will have about 1/3 of a quart which doesn't drain. I don't see it as a big issue, just an FYI. [/QUOTE]
