Stripped M8 bolts
Well...I guess I shoulda seen it coming on a 33 yr old 928....
These are the M8 bolts on the lower block for the PS pump/alternator bracket
No big deal....just ordered the Time Sert kit for M8x125...about $65
gonna have to wait for the kit and do some more cleaning......

stripped
Yeah...checked that...they are stripped in pretty far...all the way...
Now I get to play with a new tool....!
Once i get it, I will take some pics and show the process......
Time Sert kit is a steel insert after drilling out the hole , countersink, and tap and install tool....
Search: stripped bolt on RL and lots of comments and links...
Might do oil pan gasket while I wait for the kit.......
Cheers, Kevin

i did mine with pan on. did the dumb hilicoil (sp) first... then just said (fuxk this) and use JB weld and jammed the bolt in. new engine, no problems. but that time cert should rock.

if you can order the long depth time certs they will fill the hole and take more load

That picture looks a bit like there's a Helicoil in there already. Or there are some boogered threads in the process of letting loose up in there. If the spiral metal sitting next to the bolt is in fact a remnant of a Helicoil, be sure your Timesert is oversized to allow for the bigger hole.
Good luck with the project!

all that you see is curled aluminum thread material...no heliocoil
