I have noticed the oil drain plug is the same thread as the one on the inside of an oil filter.

I have wondered if that could use it to replace stripped oil pan threads. You know, weld it onto the bottom of the pan as a bung.

I would put the drain plug into the plate so it would align to the old hole. This would keep the filter plate threads round during welding too.

Of course, I would remove the larger area around the center to remove those "flow holes". That would be a hideous decoration but maybe and funny looking oil pan cooler! (:)
