The one I'm talking about is the one on the passenger side of the engine, that uses the 32mm socket to get off.

You MUST be very careful, slow , straight when insert and thread the tap into the hole. Your last chance.Last edited by sapote; 03-13-2024, 06:37 PM.

This is shorter than a normal tap, for a tight space:

But, its pilot end doesn't look good to me as compared to a tap, so measure the tap length and if you can fit it in there, then I think the tap pilot can help to start the threads easier.

I'd try taking things back apart and running the tap through from the inside of the head. Threads are (presumably) still good there, which will give you a guide so you don't mess them up further. Just don't drop things into the oil pan...2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - Kassel MAP - SSV1 - HJS - PCS Tune - Beisan - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal
