I'm looking at something like this.....

Does anyone know what thread size the fantic 212 sump plug is? I don't want to remove mine as it's holding so I can go out on it but if I take it out again I don't think it will stay

Cheers

Tom.

Pretty sure it's an M8 but I'd need to check to be 100%.

 

You could possibly use a Helicoil or enlarge the thread a size. Both may get some swarf entering the engine.

 

I have cleaned old oil from the inside of a 240 gearbox by flushing it with petrol, doing that could hopefully take care of any debris causing issues.

Helicoils are great iv'e done a lot on motor bikes make sure your drill bit is sharp put very sticky grease on the bit that will catch all the swarf then when ready to tap it put grease on the tap as well , i used to heat some new 60wt oil up on a cooker this removed all the small material out,
