Hello gentlemen,

I have this issue with my oil drain plug underneath the sled. I believe it cross threaded and is damaged. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I might get this issue fixed so oil doesn’t leak on me please. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

If I need to re-tap what size is the drain hole size to get it close?
 
You can try heli-coil or save-a-thread kit but best bet would be to tap it out and put in a new drain plug slightly bigger..

check out this vid.. this will help:

 
Hey thanks for the tip. I have concluded the helicoil and am very impressed. Everything turned out good. Highly recommend.
