Yesterday my buddy and i were putting in a new oil return line from the turbo to the oil pan. We were almost all finished up when we discovered that one of the bolts that holds the line to the oil pan was not tight and would not get tight, it would tighten then get loose again.
So, my question to you guys is what should i do about this? We thought about JB Weld we decided against it in case we ever had to get it off again. We thought we could get a tap and die set and try to re-thread the hole in the oil pan, but we are worried about massive quantaties of metal chunks in the oil pan and eventually going into my motor :naughty: Lastly, i am thinking that if i absolutely have to i will take it to a shop and get a new pan..... But that will be super expensive as they will have to pull the motor and transfer case to get at it. Any new ideas or if anyone would be able to do most of this in their garage i can hooe em up with some $$$
Thanks
Andy
