We drilled and tapped rupe sump (on his bike before cheese has a go) a few weeks back piss easy but you need to get sump plug out first.

i had a sump plug striped one time . i put a longer plug bolt in . it worked .there was some thread left .thank god for that

**vr4king** · 27th May 2009, 17:41

I used to have the same prob i used to drain the oil out by removing the whole clutch cover then apply rtv to seal it back up till one day i got sick of doing that so i vicegripped the plug out and it came out mint so i chucked a new plug in bingo all good

But a helicoil is good idea
A little trick i used to do(yes im a machinest by trade)was cover the tap in grease to stop the swarf from getting everywhere that way the swarf stays on the tap
Also "shocking" a bolt is a good idea ie not apply pressure slowly but rather abruptly ie hammer on socket bar etc but gotta be real carefull alloy is rather maluable and is easy to break a head off
