Status: offline I stripped the threads inside the oil pan.For you pros the question is; should I install a helicoil or rethread with and us an oversize bolt? If I go that route it wont be magnetic.

Status: offline helicoil or insert is your best bet same amount of work pulling the pan off anyways and you stay with a stock sump bolt.
