So, yes, I am guilty of stripping one of the oil pan threads while changing the S10's oil. I have done a search and read some posts about this subject. I have several options.
The two most compelling are: 1. Buy a new pan, or 2. Remove old pan and re-thread with Time Sert or take to machinist to to do it (which may be costly).
If I do decide to remove the pan myself and use a time sert. Does anyone know what size Time Sert I need? Also, after using the time sert, will the original OEM drain plug size be usable? Thanks.
