    Well, the threads are completely stripped out – actually they’ve been drilled out. I had to drill out the plug screw itself. It was hastily done. I tried putting some JB Weld on it, and then drilling and tapping that. It held up for a little while, but I think the oil is softening up the JB Weld. I might could get a heli-coil to bite into the aluminum. Worth a shot I guess.
