I put a new cam in my 400ex awhile back and had problems with one of the #7 bolts on the head cylinder cover. When I put it back together, the right front corner of the cover was leaking oil. I tried tightening it and ended up pulling the threads out. How do I fix this. I bought a heli coil kit, but the tap is to short. Can you just take the head cover off to fix this or do you have to take the valve housing off as well. Any help on fixing this would be appreciated!
