Stripped oil pump thread

[MotherGoose]

so I’m in the middle of rebuilding my first saw and I’m pretty sure someone tried to use a bunch of lock tite on the oil pump screw because it was stripped. So now my question is what should I do to fix the issue? Thanks

Any idea what size I should try? I’m not familiar with helicoils

More than likely it's gonna be metric, don't know the size right off hand. If you had a thread gauge, you could measure your bolt for the size to get the correct insert kit.
