We are replacing oil return tubes in a friends 1971 911T and got to the last tube and noticed that oil return line could move. Upon further inspection we noticed that the fitting in the crankcase would rock back and forth a little. YIKES! We got the hose off and the fitting unscrewed by hand and was covered in plumbers tape. The top two thirds of the threads are damaged and the fitting has chisel marks on the outside, as you can see in the pics. There is about 6 to 8 mm of thread in the bottom of the hole that are clean. Has anyone ever repaired this problem in the car? Do they make a longer fitting to grab the lower threads? Helicoil? Insert? Epoxy? Any ideas?
