Stripped Coolant Plug, now what??
Hi all!
When troubleshooting a leak, I've been tightening and untightening the coolant drain bolt at the water pump several times until I stripped the thread in the pump (not the bolt).
I can tighten it a bit, but not tight enough, so the new crush washer is not sealing properly.
What can I do? Re-thread it? Cold welding?
Regards,

Thanks for the alert!
I'm taking it to the mechanic, which I use for emergencies, to get a reliable solution, even if it may be the whole pump. I'm not risking it with magic solutions!
Thanks!
