Oil Pan

[PonyCorral]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement oil pan and dipstick? The PO put in a chrome dipstick and cross threaded the oil pan.

is the motor in or out of truck if it's out , bring to me and i'll weld it and retap the hole . if not i have some sealant you could try as a temporary repair . just pm me .

The motor is still in. I was planning on draining it and dropping the pan. What is the temporary fix, sealant?

we use it to seal fuel tanks on airplane so it's resistant to everything . and when it goes out of date they just throw it away so i take it home

Wish I could do that at work. Too bad 5.56mm never really goes out of date.

If you are still looking, I have a pan and dipstick on my old motor sitting in my garage. was going to sell it to toms bronco parts but have just have not got around to it.

Usually the pan threads don't even get damaged. you might just get lucky when you pull the pan and just need the new dipstick. the pans metal is a lot stronger than the tubes mounting nut just like the drain plug. Maybe another fancy schmancy dipstick, a gasket set, oil and filter, pull your pan and clean the threads up with a tap, and reassemble.

Sometimes it an easy fix! Thanks for the suggestion.
