oil pan

[Ryan Hoitink]

As a very temporary solution, I have seen expandable replacement plugs.  As
you tighten them, a piece of rubber expands to seal the opening.  Again,
this would be a pretty sketchy set-up, but it will make the car usable, and
at least hold oil in the engine.  I think that these can be found at most
national chain-type auto parts stores.

Subject: oil pan


   Hello list,

 I'v run into a little problem with my oil pan and the
drain plug,
 went to change the oil today and found that the
threads for the pan and the bolt are pretty striped I
tried everything to make sure the bolt would stay
torqued but it wont the threads are shot, my first
question is does anybody have a oil pan sitting around
for an 87 5ksq? and how long should I let the car sit
there with no oil in it?

As you guy's and gal's can assume I would like to get
this fixed asap if anybody in the Mass area preferably
the Springfield area has an extra pan sittin around I
would be interested in it.
Thanks
Ron
