BAHH!!! Oil Pan Plug

[P Machy]

Either Galpin (the dealer I bought the car from) or the previous owner really effed up the plug by wrenching on it the wrong way! :bird: & seriously -->

I have done more then enough oil changes and this would of been my 1st on the Termee today since I picked her up in May! Yeah, yeah...ive been a little busy with racing! So I aint new to this and nor have I ever stripped the Pan's thread or the Plug!

The Pan's thread looks good (must be stronger material than the Plug), but the plug is totally noticebly grooved :bleep, bleepppp!!!:

I knew something was freaking horrid when the plug would not turn easily with my bare fingers once I loosened the plug with a 16mm wrench!

So what do I do now! Jack another part of the Mach1?


:crap:

Yeah...just pissed cause I wasnt going to sit on my arse all night and post away!!!

So they got them over the counter?

I am really thinking of just jacking up the Mach1 and borrowing the plug...but it is dark outside and ive seen these bad kids around her recently. Shit, they even spray their crews name " BLACKWIDOWS "...sometimes it is hard to miss it...you kinda run into their spray

MAN I AM SO AGRO!! I dont feel like changing the Focus oil either now

I actually hate it, but she has saved my butt alot of times when I broke the Mach1. Cant complain about the gas though....she is my step child :angel:

SHIT! Now someone is hitting me up about the Mach1...10k with no trans?

Own it out right....hum.....it is just sitting collecting dust too

It would go to a good home!

I wonder how many Cobra owners also have owned a Focus. I've had two of them. Sorta miss my Blue SVTF. Funny that none are represented in the forums.

I just paid 44 bucks for 2 feet of submersible fuel line.
Better get rid of my hesitation.
