900 Ace - Stripped Threads on Block

[moose822]

I was changing the oil in my son's Renegade 900 Ace and stripped out the threads on the block with the drain plug. What are my options to fix it?
Thanks!

being as it's something you will be taking in and out (drain plug) I'm not so sure a heli-coil would be the best choice to fix it. I would look into "keenserts" (not sure if spelled correctly or not) This may be your better option IMO, now to see if they have the size you are looking for.

You might try something like this. They have them in many sizes.

Apparently this isn't uncommon. I was able to find multiple other people who have done this on the ski-doo forum. I ordered a repair kit from Time-Sert. It wasn't cheap but is similar to a "keensert" but is designed to seal. Hopefully have it before this weekend.

will work out a lot better than a heli-coil
