Subject:oil pan bolt(threaded insert)
From:John McLean

Does anybody have any experience with getting a threaded insert to
remain permanently in place?    About every 4th oil change the insert
comes out with my oil plug.   Each time I have drained the pan
completely and cleaned all threads with denatured alcohol, then
liberally coated the threads with red lock-tite and reinserted.   I
yearn for a permanent solution!
