P500 - Stripped Oil Drain hole

I just completed the repair of my stripped oil drain hole in the motor casing. I wanted to post this in case it happens to anyone else. I purchased my P5 from a private owner with 102 miles on it. He said that he had not performed the first oil change yet. I realized later that the service...

The problem with the 700 (as opposed to most) is the long drain bolt that seems to thread into the middle case somewhere, and has an o ring supposedly designed to keep oil on one side or the other.
It seems like it'd be impossible to tap it without some disassembly, and if you could, you'd leave metal debris inside the engine. @HondaTech can maybe elaborate...

 

[BRBALL]

You are correct, from what I've researched, it threads into the front middle section. I was hoping to keep from having to disassemble.

Found the culprit, not really a stripped thread, but broken block. Has anyone seen this happen.

Did you hit a rock, or is that from overtightening? I don't recall specifically how the cases go together, but that might actually be easier to fix than the stripped threads.

Meh...quick look at the diagrams seems like its 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other.

The dealership stripped mine on it's first check up. They didn't tell me they had let their detailer do the oil change. When I got it home I parked it in my shop and a couple of days later I had a large puddle of oil. On the 3rd return the owner called and fessed up to what happened. The service manager was fired and they spent alot of money to make it right. Guess I was fortunate they did the right thing..

Actually I didn't over tighten, nor did I hit a rock, actually I think it was a faulty case.

Good. Maybe warranty will cover it.

However it works out good luck.

After another look at the scope, looks like there was maybe a void in the casting right below the threads.

If the dealer stripped it on first service they should be responsible for the repair
