Re: IML: stripped oil pan drain

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

That happened to one of my '60's. They removed the pan and retapped the 
hole. I think that they might have welded a nut to the bottom of the 
inside of the pan. It is repairable. A common repair that I don't think 
is great is to use a rubber stopper insteads of a threaded drain plug. 
There are folks who swear by this.

Subject: IML: stripped oil pan drain

Any brilliant ideas on a quick fix for a stripped oil pan drain? I 
changed oil yesterday and the plug felt weird going in and would not 
tighten.It now just turns with a wrench but seems to be holding 
although there is a small leak. Guess the pan has to come off.
