Changing the oil tonight in my WBX. When I first got the van, the plug bolt installed had too large a head and I had to grind down a socket to fit. So I ordered the correct plug and crush washer, and was going to install it but found that I could barely get it beyond finger tight -- it just keeps turning. So, it would seem the threads in the case are stripped out. Would Heli-Coil be a good way to address this, or just get one of those expandable rubber plugs instead?
