I just bought a used 1996 roadking and the engine oil drain plug threads in the pan are gone. anyone know the hd part number for a new oil pan? thanks!

This website has parts diagrams for many years. You need to select the part, put it on the order form, and then go to checkout, and the part number will be there.

Just a thought, but how about an oversized drain plug from the auto parts store? When you tap the hole, do three things; 1) coat the tap in grease, it holds metal shavings on the tap. 2) remove the timing plug or one of the crankcase breathers at head and apply air pressure. You may have to block off the other head breather to keep pressure, but this will force any shavings back towards the tap and or out the drain plug hole. 3) buy a role of magnet tape from hardware store and fit it around the area of the drain plug. Leave it there until the next oil change, or flush the pan immediately after re-tapping with oil and remove magnets. I would then re-install magnets to pick up any remaining pieces.

 

thanks jcb1975 for the info. will probably repair old one till i can replace it.

 

An oversize drain plug will work so well, I'd leave it, and ride.

Consider:
A one time standard or magnetic over sized drain plug from your current size that is available at any good auto part shop.
or
a similar piggy back style plug were you will not need to touch the original threads again in the future
or
check thread depth and use longer drain bolt (many times the oil pan threads go much deeper)
or
I have not used the rubber expansion plugs nut some say they work well.

*a stripped drain plug is not an unusual occurrence since it is usually metal into aluminum.
