How do u fix a stripped out oil pan
Is it just the oil plug that's stripped or is it the oil pan? If it's only the plug, get a new one from the dealer or a local part store (they are quite cheap). If it's your oil pan, then that's a pain. You'll probably have to put in a self tapping oversized plug or replace the oil pan. I would stay away from those cheap rubber oil plug replacement kits that fit in with a plastic screwdriver.
Re-tap the holes (cut new threades) Use the TIme-Sert thread repair system will repair the pan.http://www.timesert.com Use a oil drain valve to replace your oil drain plug in order to prevent the threads from being stripped. www.qwikvalve.com
No, mine's fine, thanks.
You might try to use krol as this oil can creep into the smallest cracks to help loosen the spark plug. http://www.kanolabs.com/ The next problem will be the threads probably will be stripped. Use a Time-Sert insert to repair the stripped threads. http://www.timesert.com/html/sparkplug.html http://www.timesert.com Good luck!
Auto Part Stores sell oil plugs that are self-tapping. What you do is buy one that has a slightly greater pitch and re-tap the the drain hole with the new plug. Here is a good write-up on this: http://www.gadgetjq.com/stripped_oil_plug_thread.htm But it is always perfered to repair the thread back to its original size. Use a TIME-SERT to repair the stripped threads with a steel insert. http://www.timesert.com/html/drainplug.html ----------------------------------------------------------
Over tightening the drain plug.
It is always better to restore the stripped drain pan back to its original size with a steel insert.
its either stripped or someone did it.
The plug unscrews by turning it counter-clockwise. Take the stripped plug to a good auto parts store. There are oversized, self-tapping plugs available, but they will need to match yours up to the correct replacement.
