I have found a possible solution to my stripped oil drain plug hole dilemma. I purchased the next oversize drain plug over the original 3/4 in plug. It is a 20mm or 13/16 in drain plug. I also have the right tap set to re-thread the oil drain hole.My question is has any body seen the inside of the oil pan & is there enough metal material in the drain plug hole that it still will have proper strength when I tighten the new drain plug ?
Hopefully this will spare me the hassle of replacing the oil pan.I can get a good used one ($95)from Hirschindusties (They sell good stuff- bought good used strut housing from them for cheap).
