Re: Stripped oil pan nut
Ok so I ran a tap through it (original size) and then I was able to torque it. Not sure it will hold but we’ll see. Normally I’d take the pan off and tap it correctly, but I already took the pan off once for another screw up and dont want to do it again unless I absolutely have to…which I’m sure at some point I’ll need to do at that point I’ll repair correctly next time it’s off. The first time I torqued the pan down it torqued down fine so this is somewhat strange. I tried two different bolts that wouldn’t torque until I ran the tap through.
