Subject:      Oil Drain Hole?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I noticed while doing my oil change, that the threaded hole in the crank case
has a bronze bushing pressed in there (14mm thread). In other words, the
threads are not directly in the aluminum. Is this the factory set up, or does
that mean that it was once stripped and bushed (in a former life)? no
problem, just curious.
