drain pan threads stripped... anyone use a time-sert?
#28
I got it done today with no problems. I tried an oversized tap before opening the time sert box and it marginally improved the situation but not even close to fixing it. The previous owner of this oil pan did a thorough job stripping out the drain plug. The time sert insert feels very secure the kit makes it easy to have quality results.
My tap handle wasn't big enough for most of the time sert pieces but it was probably easier using a ratchet wrench anyways. The front sub frame prevents you from spinning anything with a handle straight into the drain plug hole so a 3 inch extension was perfect. no problems with the inserts or anything.
Vince - shoot me an email at b3d3g1@gmail.com if you're still interested in the time sert kit.
