[QUOTE="JohnB, post: 406977, member: 2723"] I attempted a Perma-coil (like a heli coil) but the insert would't stay in when removing the drain plug. It seemed like the oil pan material was too soft to allow the insert to lock into it. So, I bit the bullit and bought all the parts to replace the pan from Ron Ayers. It's a time consuming job especially if you've never taken everyting apart before, but not very difficult. Having a service manual helps. I removed all the bodywork, drained the coolant and removed the exhaust last weekend. I should be able to drop and replace the pan and put everything back together this weekend. [/QUOTE]
