Richard, Thank you for your note. You are probably right about the Heli-Coil. You should have seen from my previous post on the list that the universe has given me a reprieve. Anyhow, I have much worse problems now that you'll see if you read my post titled "Friday: Repair Dispute in Albuquerque."

I had an oil drain thread insert in one of my vans. It looks to me that your helicoil threads are starting to come out or apart. I never saw the insert threads I installed look this way. Hope this helps. Rick |
