tysona23 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Of course with aluminum you are going to get damaged threads. I had some oil seapage so I decided to retorque the oil pan bolts. I found one of them was stripped. I need to drill it out to 5/16 and wanted to make sure I would not end up drilling into one of the gallery's. I just wanted to make sure. Thank you.

tysona23 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Nobody knows if I will be alright to drill a 5/16th hole in my existing 6mm oil pan thread? I just dont wanna cause any problems. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAUL T Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I am going to take a chance and say that as long as you do not drill the hole any deeper you should be o.k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tysona23 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I got to looking at it closer and i didnt think it would make the clearance so i just tapped it out to 8mm and it worked just fine thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
