The threads on my oil pan have never been real great. Changing oil this morning the drain plug (1/2" 20) would not tighten up, threads are gone on the pan side. My tool box had a (1/2 15)so with a new washer, some pipe tape I put it back in. I don't dare over tighter, and it still drips. Will a helicoil work? Or another idea.
