Hello...

Today I refitted my sludge tube and when it cam to refitting the screwed plug my replacement plug went in very easily - too easily in fact and has ended up deep in the thread.

It's very loose at the same position that the old one was - i.e. flush with the crank face. I put some Loctite on the thread but it was spinning by hand well past the flush position.

  I've driven it home with an impact screwdriver for 1/2 a turn and I'm relatively sure it won't come out. No sure how I'm going to place a retaining punch on this....

  The oil way at the back of the thread is still letting oil through and doesn't seem to be effected but it must be close or partially obstructed surely...

Any thoughts on this??

Cheers
