Hello I'm new to this forum and i need some advice.
I bought my first bike KLR 650 08. I wanted to do my own maintenance. I changed oil and everthing went great unitl i striped out the oil plug. I had a heli-coil placed, by a mechanic not familar to bike mechanics, but does many spark plug repairs. He put it in on an angle. when tightened there is a gap about 2mm in length between the plug and the washer. (the washer is flush to the case but the bolt since it's on a angle never flushes to the washer) I'm leaking a couple cc's , maybe more when running hot. The bike shop refuses to put another heli-coil or tap new thread. Is there any way i can use a different washer perhaps brass or nylon that will compress and releive the gap... or any sealant i can use.
Thank you for any advice you have!
