my oil drain thread is messed up.
whats the best way to fix it without replacing the oil pan.
should i use a bigger plug? but eventually that one will wear out as well....
any suggestions would be apreciated, its leaking like a **** right now.
and if i would have to replace the oil pan, can i use the LS non vtec oil pan on a b16?
or i have to use the vtec oil pan?
i am sure this topic was covered before, so excuse me for reasking.
thanks alot guys.

 

Im using a 93 LS oil pan on my B16A. I used the LS pickup and everything.

 

can i use the b16 pick up with LS pan?

 

Don't know, I don't see why not. As far as I know the only pickup you cant use is the GSR/ITR pickup because of slight differences due to the block girdle.

 

i fixed one of my friends leaky oil pan drain plug by put n a liberal amount of hondabond sealant around the bolt. stopped the leak! this will work unless the threads on the oil pan are really messed up

 

threads are really messed up man...
i cant even tighten the plug.
i put plumbing tape around it, but it wont hold for long.
have you guys heard of a HELIX coil?
would that help?
