the right side case has a stripped thread off an 86trx motor. its the same as an 86 atc motor so it should qualify for this thread. after some riding one of the bolts at the top decided to strip out and it leaked a little bit of oil. i took the bolt out and its still all there and one piece so the threads gave out. it cant get tight at all and replacing the case is going to cost a lot. does anyone know a fix to this without having to buy a new case? i doubt theres anyway to resolve this without taking the motor apart.

the other bolts are still in there nice and tight.
