        Yeah, Andy, I had the same issue. I just helicoiled the two I discovered
      and that solved it for me.  I think I would test the threads to see how they
      seem to hold.   don 450 hours

          Have any of you STRATUS guys ever had to deal with stripped threads on
      any of the case bolts?  Bought my engine in 2000 and since got it mounted
      and ran it on the ground a few times.  Started flying June 14, 2011.  At 42
      hours flight time I noticed an oil leak on the lower right side of the
      engine, from the front looking aft.  The oil was coming from the lower case
      bolt head.  Tried to tighten and it did not tighten.  Threads stripped in
      the case, obviously done at STRATUS when the engine was assembled.  Has
      anybody else had this or similar problems.  Planning to install a helicoil,
      but would you go ahead and helicoil all the case bolts or just hope that
      none of the others strip on reassembly of the engine?  Thanks.
