you can't wear it out ... believe me I've tried ... but it might get sore :>)

 

you could always go with a baker 1.5 pan and then brag to your neighbor how yours is bigger.

 

Experience is" any drain plug with an O ring only needs to be wrist tight" the O ring does the sealing not the threads. Just a good rule of thumb.

 

Make me want to start drinking the next time I work on my bike. geeez!

 

A picture of her "Sporty" would be helpful....and....just snug the drain plug next time...

 

Well if she is anything like my neighbor...... .....She really knows how to hold a tool......

 

Hate to break it to you but you would be surprised at the junk in your case.

 

No there's not. Been there, done that, got the tshirt (Mine pulled threads out with the plug). There is a pretty good lip at the top of the thread. The thread is 1/2-28 I was thinking but may just been -20. the hole that actually goes through the pan is only about 1/4" Helicoil is easy way to fix it, just jack it up and drill slowly. Poured a quart of ATF through mine just to see and it was perfectly clean when it came out. Several thousand miles later no problems.

 

Do ya think she did that on purpose?


I mean, she could be braggin to all her friends on spacebookie right now...

 

Years ago I had one that was striped out, had just enough bite left to hold the bolt in so I smeared J-B Weld around the head and just left it, changed out the pan before the next fluid change.
