<VV> Repair to engine oil pan bolt holes

[Mike McCrae]

You might also want to investigate Time-Serts...a much better system than 
Heli-Coil. I keep the 3/8-16, 5/16-18, and 1/4-20 kits handy at all times.
They can be ordered in various lengths, and materials, ie. stainless.
Good luck...a well thought out repair will be rewarding to you and the next 
owner down the line.

Regards,
Mike McCrae

You will have to install some helicoils, which requires drilling and
tapping oversize then install the helicoil to restore to original size.
