Did some more up keep on buggy. Realized didn't change the gear oil. I pulled the plug and drained it. There was some water in it. But did use the good 90w gear oil, so think all good.
However, I not sure what happened, put the plug back in, and cant get it to tighten all the way. Damn thing is stripped. Stripped on the case side. Not the bolt. It gets tight to a point, but not near tight as like.
What's best way to fix this? I put some gasket maker on washer side of plug hopping to help seal it. Just worried the plug going to work itself out. Is using Lock tight a good idea or not? How easy is it to re-tap the hole? Being aluminum not sure how easy, or good idea to try and re-tap it.
Anyone have same problem? I have my brother coming down this holiday weekend. If anything, like to do a quick fix for about 3 or 4 days, then do something different.
I do have 2 extra engines. Guess I can swap out the case for that. But not sure if have any gaskets for it.
