Subject:stripped oil drain thread
From:alfred bagdan

Hi all,

Has anyone used Permatex tread fixing compound to successfully fix the
female treads in the Vanagon that hold the oil drain plug.  I've tried a 14
mm oversize plug, but the oil keeps slowly dripping.  I hate to buy a
Helicoil kit for just one plug, besides I don't know who has them here in
that size.

Thanks
