i tightened my oil plug down to tight and had to retap the case the tapping went well and i got all the shavings out of the motor. i then put the right bolt for the tap in along with a copper washer to seal it off. the problem is that the head of the bolt hangs over the bottom of the case and there is a small leak. i thought it might not be tight enough and so i tightened it a smidge more. it still leaks a small amount. does anyone have any ideas or history with a gasket idea or another sealler for the bolt. thought about useing a gasket material but haven't tryied it yet. thanks
