- FWIW, I'd look into a helicoil - I personally haven't used them, but I've heard they work pretty good. That plate above the rear of the oil pan is an alloy, therefore easily stripped out. It seems t

- I used to race a Spit, and we had to remove the a lot for maint & R/R. I have repaired lots of these sealing blocks in many ways, with oversize bolts, studs, epoxy (JB Weld), etc. The heli-coil is a

- Hi Jeff If you foresee an engine rebuild in the future I would avoid drilling the hole in the sump any bigger as it is relatively easy to get the oil seal housing and put it all back to standard. In
