Full details
This Laser Tools Sump Plug Thread Repair Kit (M14 x 1.25 - 7661) is designed for mechanics and DIYers dealing with stripped or worn sump threads on M13 sumps. Its key benefit is providing a cost-effective solution to repair damaged threads, avoiding the need for expensive oil pan replacement. A potential caveat is the requirement to use an oversized tap, as is standard for thread repair kits.

FAQs
What size thread does this kit repair?
This kit is designed to repair damaged M13 sump threads by re-tapping them to an M14 x 1.25 size.
Can I use my old sump plug with this kit?
No, this kit requires the use of the supplied M14 x 1.25 sump plugs as it re-taps the thread to a larger size.
What vehicles is this kit compatible with?
It is suitable for Citron, Ford, Jeep, and Suzuki vehicles with M13 sumps that require an M14 x 1.25 thread repair.
Do I need any special tools besides this kit?
You will need a wrench or socket to turn the tap, and potentially a torque wrench to tighten the new sump plug correctly. Tapping fluid is recommended but not essential.
What is the purpose of the oversized tap?
The tap is one size larger than the original thread, allowing it to clean out the damaged material and cut a new, strong M14 x 1.25 thread in its place.
How many sump plugs are included?
The kit includes 6 x M14 sump plugs and 6 x copper washers.
Troubleshooting
Tap is difficult to turn or seems stuck
Ensure you are turning the tap clockwise and applying even pressure. Back the tap out slightly every few turns to clear debris. Use tapping fluid to lubricate the cutting process.
New sump plug does not seal properly
Verify that the M14 x 1.25 tap created a clean and complete thread. Ensure a new copper washer is used with the sump plug and that it is torqued to the correct specification.
Tap seems to be removing too much material
Confirm you are using the correct tap (M14 x 1.25). If the thread is excessively loose, the original sump may be too damaged for a standard repair, or an even larger thread repair kit might be necessary.
