Bmw did a sump repair plug for their f650gs motorbike engine (Rotax) .Same engine in Aprilia Pegaso. Wondered why i stripped sump plug then realised translated torque setting in manual said 60 when it should have been 30.
18yrs at rover main dealer, hurt my hand so many times "explaining" to the apprentices why they should of used my shortened 15/16 spanner to tighten the plug... then hurt my wrist helicoiling at least one a week [the big drill used to stick + spin your arms around] best thing ever invented, 100% success with that helicoil kit...
That's a great save! The fact it could crack the sump too just adds to the fun 😁
Im glad it's worked and keeps the mini on the road.
Cheers Jim!
Part of me wanted a split gearbox casing too for better viewing but an mot and a summer on the road is better for me 😂.
@Resto.Nation it would have made good footage but you'd have to shout POWER!!!! as you split it😆
@@jimbuilds next time 😂

Haha fair! This didn’t even get near tight before it stripped. Apparently it’s more common than I thought…

Haha apprentices will never listen…
This will be be fixed properly with a helicoil when the engine and box come out next 👍🏻
