Plug size and fix

The oil plug is a 14mm x 1.5. I know because the same thing has happened (stripped pan threads) to me! The fix is pretty easy. I just put in a heli-coil. A heli-coil is a thread insert. You can find them in most well supplied parts stores. You need to buy the kit, not just the heli-coils themselves, because it contains everything you need to do the job, ie: the thread inserts themselves, the right drill, the tap, and the installation tool. I would suggest that you pressurize the crankcase some how. I did it with an air hose/nozzle down the dipstick tube. This will help with not getting to many chips in the pan. Good Luck!
