Oil pan receptacle?

Not sure what you are talking about. The drain bolt? The oil pan drain threads themselves?

If you need a new oil pan, your dealer is most likely correct. However, there are other options like heli-coils that others more informed than I will be able to help you with.

Still need to clarify what you are talking about, however.

I stripped the oil pan receptacle

Use too many of those muscles on it? (he says coyly, while his own drain bolt is currently sitting on the shop floor).

Aren't most of the oil pan nuts designed so the nut is made of softer material than the oil pan itself? That way you end up stripping the nut which can be easily replaced. Not the pan which can't...

Nope.

Oil pan = aluminum

Oil pan drain bolt = steel

I'll give you one guess as to which one loses.

Guys...Gals....I am truly besides myself. I am beating myself up and am truly embarrased. The threaded soft metal that came from the Pan/Strainer was in the threads from the bolt. The pan/strainer as Yamaha calls it is now on order from Japan. Can anyone learned in a fix talk me through this? Is there anything that will work temporarily till I get the new pan?

Thanks,

Roger

P.S. I don't think I can tighten up the bolt enough to stop oil from coming out.

Go to that link provided above by donaldb. It talks about various fixes that you can do, such as a Heli-coil.

Do that, and you don't necessarily need a new oil pan.

Go to that link and read!

And when you get the new pan , Don't forget to torque that drain plug back to it's spec of 185 ft/lbs.

J/K :huh:

I am going to add, based on

1) you called the drain plug the oil pan receptacle

2) You seem unware of heli-coils

that maybe you might want to get some help with this repair, especially if you go the heli-coil route.

Another extreme "fix" would be to JB weld the drain plug in the pan. The good news is that it is stone simple (not that heli-coils are difficult) and will never come out. The bad news is that it will NEVER come out. I would only go this route if you plan on ordering and installing a new pan (and drain plug).

You sure it wasn't the orifice?

:jester:

 

[Geezer]

Where is this bike? Perhaps someone who lives nearby can take a look at it.

 

[Mike-H]

Time sert I think would be the better product over a heli coil....but that's just my humble opinion....(that & $1.25 buys you a cup of coffee)

Loctite and Permatex both makes a thread repair epoxy if you can get it clean enough. Would work at least till you can get a new pan or figure out what your going to do.

I'd be very careful with a chemical solution here. I had a similar problem happen and used a gasket sealer to solve it. The problem was that I put too much on, and the excess went into the oil channels within the engine and clogged some of them up. One cylinder of the engine was oil starved and the bike would not run. It cost me mucho $$$ to fix, and was an early lesson learned on bike maintenance and repair. The right fix to the original problem was a heli-coil.

Be careful.

Please, It's made just for such an incident! Read the product use descriptions. Like I said, it will hold long enough to make a more permenant repair. Permatex specifically states it made to repair oil pan drain holes. I'd have no reservations about using it and will if the need ever arises!

Yes, I stripped some of threads from the oil pan plug hole by over-tightening the bolt. I told the dealer to go ahead and order a new pan from Japan..(hey that rhymes).

I was also told that the pan from 2003 to the present will fit. Does anyone have an extra one in great condition they could sell me and ship me fast?

Thanks for all your help everyone. This does put a crimp in my plans to some degree . If I was able to live through my divorce, this is cake.

Ride safe!

Word to the wise. Treat your receptacles right or they'll slow you down.

 

[FlyingLow]

Step away from the torque wrench!

A few more guys do this and we'll have an epidemic on our hands :lol: .

Now what's most amazing is how Yamaha cranks them down at the factory, to the point that we need a breaker bar to get the plug out the first time, without stripping threads.

Or do they? Maybe they use invisible loctite.

 

[Maywannayamaha1300]

interesting...I found a pan from a 2003 on ebay and bought it. Hopefully it will arrive soon and be useable......otherwise it can become a fruit receptacle or something like that. B)
