I've got a stripped oil pan bolt hole, the middle one in the front on the SA. Niether locktite nor JB Weld will hold it. There isn't a lot of meat there and was wondering if I ought to drill and tap it out to 7/16 , or drill it for a helicoil. Which will take out the least metal?

Thanks again , I'll try the 3/8 fine tap/3/8 coarse capscrew first, if that doesn't hold, I'll go to 7/16,just don't like one odd size . I've got another front assembly, but it does'nt look much better than the one in there, also not sure about getting the old one out and the replacement back in.
Good idea on the magnet

Heck, I'd drill the end of the new plug for a magnet while I was at it too. This helps to catch any metal crap that floats around in the oil.


i've never hear of the magnet plug it sounds smart

Most of todays modern automobiles have them. in manual transmissions usually the bottom drain plug is magnetic.

All of the metal shavings from break in or wear and tear will stick to it and when you go to change your oil you'll have a glob of fuzzy shavings all over the plug.

I do all of mine on the machines I rebuild. Just drill into the end of the plug to make a pocket, drop a little magnet in, and epoxy over. I use rare earth magnets which are VERY strong. One pencil eraser size will hold up the whole oil pan on the 100. You can get them from Radio Shack. Use JB weld to retain these in the pluc.

That capscrew goes into the front seal assy which is pot metal and easy to strip the threads. It is a blind hole and probably a too long a bolt was used. Just tap a 3/8 fine thread tap then use a 3/8 capscrew dont over tighten mite want to use a sealant on the threads. You can also drop the pan and replace the bottom assy of the seal. I have some good ones if you need one.
