Oil pan drain plug mess

[Mile2]

heat it or use ball pin hammer, it should loosen up a bit. Even rusted or stucked up bolts in my experience can be loosen.

if the bolt is somewhat rounded already, you can just weld another nut on top. Wondering why they have to cut and weld oil pan not unless the oil pan thread is worn out.

You can also have your machinist make you graphite or copper washers, your machinist would have so much material just lying around, as for me I just turn those bolts handtight. That is how my grandpa, and dad does it.

san po ba may nabibiling washer for the drain plug???

First you should get your self an extra for emergencies as these bolts get
stolen. Then using these extra drain plug you can shop around for washers that will fit or you can fabricate yourself from copper sheets. Others uses bicycle tire interiors for these, I prefer copper.

Check out your neighborhood scrap dealers for materials or just look around
your house.

I may look weird but I tell you these drain plugs get stolen.

Always have an extra.

marami kasing shop na nagha-hire sa mga walang knowledge sa basic mechanic dahil tipid sa sueldo. Konting training lang sa pagtanggal ng drain plug at paglagay ng oil ay puede na. Your are right, you must aware kung sino ang mga gumagalaw sa sasakyan mo.

actually, the problem there is the mechanic. if makita nya na may tama na yung plug, washer or thread of the oil pan he should inform you asap para wala na iba madamay.

when careless mechanics don't use lifters. minsan baliko pagkabit.

what does use of a lifter have to do with putting the bolt on correctly?
