Ran into this while doing an oil change, why is this like this? Why is there a chunk of thread missing? Vehicle is a 2019 Buick Cascada. Based on the look of things, At one point before it came to me the threads got cross-threaded or stripped, there was an attempt to retap and rethread the hole. There was a HeliCoil installed, And it came out while I was removing the drain plug.
"Messed it up"? Do you have no concept of how much talented work that would take to aftermarket gouge a channel like that without any damage to the nearby threads? No warping, no scuffing, not a single scratch? Fucksake. You can laugh at your momentary lapse in common sense, or you can double down and make excuses for it. Only the latter isn't being a dumbass twice in a row, kiddo.
Lmao, you're so mad 🤣 and you're not even paying attention. I said the threads were damaged. Stop trying to be an elitist asshole and pay attention. As I pulled the drain plug out the attempted repair pulled out with it. What you're seeing here is after it was cleaned back up and I could finally see it better. The other tech had already started tapping and recutting the threads.
How about instead of calling me a dumbass you actually try to be a decent person?
