Re: Oil pan replacement
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDavid,
I had the same problem a few years ago.
Stripped thread on the oil drain. After trying a few fixed such as
retread etc I gave up, bit the bullet and renewed the pan, had it
powder coated on the outside only and fixed with a Stalbus drain -
wonderful!? About 20000 miles and 3 oil changes since fixing with
no problem
The only real problem is that a new pan
is uncoated aluminium and cleaning the old gasket faces and bottom
gunge. I am not a trained mechanic and just followed the manual on
replacing the pan and made special attention at keeping everything
clean. Make sure you keep a record of which bolt goes where and
follow the order of torquing them up - with a correctly set torque
wrench
The attached photo shows from inside
the pan that there is only two or three full threads holding the
drain plug and so no wonder it is very easy to the strip this
thread but more particularly makes it very difficult, if not
impossible to insert a new thread coil.
