Subject:Help advise please, stripped drain plug
From:Bruce Ralphs
Date:Tue, 12 Oct 2004 21:19:31 -0700

Hey Gang, been really quiet lately and a fly on the wall.

Well it looks as though the yoyo's at a oil-change place over-tightened
my oil plug as the guys this weekend had to use incredible force to
undo it and the threads fell off from the engine side.  They chased it
with a tap again to clean it up but it drips oil now.  I need to get
this fixed.  Any advise other than tapping a larger diameter one it its
place?

Cheers, bruce
