Stripped Oil Drain Plug :-/

[93RGTE]

Go down to your local auto parts store and buy an oversize drain plug. They are self tapping so you just screw it in.

I’ve had one in my Falcon for 35+ years w/o any problems. But if they’re willing to pop for a new pan -

That’s what I figure too

To replace the stripped screw on the oil pan on my bike, my dad helped me install a helicoil that received the original bolt. Works a champ.

Well, got the Cougar back tonight. Took them some time to get the pan gaskets in, otherwise I would have had it back on friday. New reproduction oil pan in place, old oil pan in the trunk. Will monitor for leaks

Thanks for the tips and info fellahs, I appreciate it!
