Default I worry too, that is the problem. it is kinda tight, enough not to leak but it just spins on...
the threads...both ways

Default Wow! $299 for the set. I bought it for $40 on closeout at Sears about 7 years ago.
I love that set. It's a good first set for any DIYer.

I'd change the pan, but check the mount bolts first, if they spin too, then get a new engine block

that is what I'm leaning towards, the mount bolts are good
