Re: [DML] Engine lift

[Robert Brandys <BobB@xxxx>]

Before you go and try to replace the old pan. There are replacement oil 
pan plugs for stripped oil pan threads. This would be a lot less work. 
You might have to do some digging since it is metric, but a good import 
auto store should have what you need. Foreign auto in Downers Grove, IL 
might be a good start.
