04 636 problem - dereksifford - 06-20-2010
just baught a used motor "in perfect condition" from someone, and the thermostat housing holes are stripped out causing it to leak coolant..
i removed and installed the motor in this bike 3 times already without being able to ride it.. is there any way i would be able to fix this, without having to helicoil it and remove the motor AGAIN?
could i cake threadlock in there? use permetex? anything?
someone give me ideas.. (tried helicoils, but i would have to remove the motor in order to tap the holes..)

taping the holes or helicoils really are your only good options .
you could possibly thread a slightly bigger standard thread bolt in there but you risk cracking it and then youre screwed big time ..

ya i know, but i seriously cannot take tearing this thing down again... i finally got everything on, ready to ride, started it up (without coolant) it ran good, so i put the chain and everything on, tightened everything down, poored the coolant in, and then boom huge leak out of that housing.. at this point, im ready to just weld the fucker on.. i have a spare head complete.
