Me,

If it's just the drain threads that are the problem ... I'd recut and get a new larger diameter drain plug. As far as metal getting into the pan pour a couple of quarts of inexpensive oil through after you cut the new threads and it should flush out any loose metal particles. If you do pull the pan ... I'd consider replacing the pump, seals and the various items mentioned in other posts. No sense going through the hassle of pulling the pan any more often than you need to. I'd still seriously consider re-threading the exiting pan drain hole. My $.02
