DETREADED OIL PAN The first time I let someone work on my car they mess it up. this person detreaded my oil pan. So the bolts are loose and there's oil leaks on the floor. What could I do about this. Is there places where they fix this problem. I really need this fix. Thanx

Re: DETREADED OIL PAN Ummm... do you mean that they stripped the threads?
If so, you can get heli-coil kits at any auto parts store worth its salt. The heli-coil effectively makes a new thread.

Re: DETREADED OIL PAN They did what? What is de-treading? And what bolts are you talking about? The oil pan only has a threaded place for a plug, the engine is threaded for oil pan bolts, but the oil pan itself isn't.
