Re: HELP: stripped oil feed (TypeSLO)
i had the same problem, thats what happens when you let friends that THINK they know what there doing work on your car... What I did, was took the OP sending unit out, chemically cleaned the hole with a paper towel until i didnt get any oil on the towel, then put JB Weld on the OP sending unit, screwed it back on gently, then put JB around the block and OP sending unit, try that. IF not, you will have to pull the motor and tap and dye it...let us know how it goes, good luck man

You can get 1/8 BSP taps, hopefully since your only partially stripped screwing that in will rethread it. That's what I had to do, worked but I really hate that part of the block.
