my 1957 Gilera 150 is finished, running, and passed mechancial inspection for registration. As I start the break in and dialing in process, one of the engine case bolts that holds the split cases together has pulled its threads and the engine case now has a small oil leak from the bottom of the motor. When I built the motor I thought I had dealt with all the suspect threads, and I have a total of 9 KeenSerts installed, all installed with the motor completely apart.
I can't see how I could install a KeenSert in the intact engine case, and I need a temporay solution as the engine will likely have to come back out and cases split to properly repair the stripped engine case bolt hole. http://www.repairengineering.com/keensert.html
so, I need suggestions as to a temporary solution to be able to run the bike for the sumemr and in the Moto Giro as I don't want to deal with stripping the engine until the winter.
ideas?
