I was another culprit who unwittingly kept the pipe thread
"discussion" alive, apparently to the dismay of some. Fact is, it is
a valid question to pose -- anyone who has ever stripped the threads
on an oil pan will agree with me. I find it interesting that the
question still remains unanswered (in all the flurry of postings I
don't recall anyone stating with authority which threads are used on
the Midget oilpan and tranny/axle plugs). If the question was so
stupid or annoying why didn't someone just answer it instead of
complaining about it??? Oh well, I'll leave those deeper thoughts to
the philosophers, and join you in an Irish salute to "stupid"
questions on St. Patrick's Day.....
