Thanks to Norm & Dan for the very quick response. Would I be correct in thinking its the black "U" clamp that moves over the brass part of the jet. I'll try that tomorrow.

Hi

I have a problem with stripped threads in one of the bolt holes in the block & I was reading in older threads on repairing the problem.
Some mentioned Heli coils & in another discussion the was talk about a "Stevens" tool/kits.

Any advice on whats best to do

Many thanks
Noel

Thanks for replies,

Are you saying that I should put thread tape on the plugs when I'm putting them in?

I must do a few jobs to the car in the next week or 2 as I have stripped threads in one bolt in the block also.

Hi Folks

Any ideas on why oil seems to be coming up threads in plugs after car being driven. Ive checked the plugs and they are tight
