Recently when I check my oil, the tube comes out with the dipstick. It will not thread back in. It just spins. When I pull it out the threads look decent. I can't get my head up there to look into the hole into the block to see the threads in there. I wish I was a halibut, then I could see in there but anyways,does this tube problem happen for you other v8 owners?

 

The fitting the tube screws into is aluminum or pot metal. Sounds like it's stripped. I think I'd just clean it as good as you can (hole and tube) and goober it with RTV. If you ever have the pan off you can add a set screw or figure something else out. The p/n for the boss is 8BA-6751-A, not reproduced. Maybe someone on here has a pan that is no good but can remove the boss.

 

Ok. I was wondering how that thing was rigged in there. Maybe jb weld or panel bond would work. Thanks
