    if you have a lathe you may want to try cuting a oring goove in the drain bolt but not at the end about 1/8 from the head of bolt the o ring would need to be just a hair up past the pan bolt thread then the o ring will dry up the threads abit like a AN fitting but evey time you change the oil you may have to use a new o ring and you would not need to stand on the drain plug to get it to seal a aluminum pans can be a bad deal as the pan get hot threads open up the steel plug will not move with the heat then you have a leak i am a proud owner of a oil pan on a 632 much like this
