New Product - Steel Drain Plug Repair Kit
I actually developed this product a few years back - but it only fit the early cars up to mid-1980 with the larger 21mm drain plugs.
By popular demand - I have re-tooled and now offer the oversized drain plug repair for all Porsche 928 1980-1995 (fits 944 and 951 too)
Permanent solution to striped threads and leaky oil pan drain plugs.
Installed with the Oil Pan in the car.
No special tools required
Re-useable, will last the life of your 928.
Easy-to-Follow Instructions Included.
Our drain plug repair kit is a quality two-piece assembly with nylon sealing ring. All steel, and anodized for corrosion resistance. The outer plug is designed to cut it's own threads as you turn it in place. The instructions included shown how to do this and leave no metal shavings within your oil pan.
We used an inverted flare fitting for the center plug - like a fuel system, and the center plug will come and go for many, many dripless oil changes for years to come.
It is available here for those that are interested:

The picture labeleed "6" below is actually the drain plug on my 928 Track car. Three years old now, many many oil changes (like after every race) No wear at all. No gasket to crush or wear out, the inverted flare fitting we use seals every time.

I'm sure it has a torque spec. How about HP increase?

Carl,
I have a suggestion on another part that i would like to see made and that is a tensioner arm bushing milled from bronze or whatever appropriate for the use. Not only are these things getting a little expensive but the last time i did a belt change, they were a sloppy fit for a new part.
If the bushing was held to a tighter tolerance, the belt should track true for a longer time and if someone did tighten the belt a little to tight, the bushing would not deform and it would not be affected by oil/grit in the area like the plastic bushing is.
I'm referring to the later models here with the two part bushing
Nice job on the oil pan fitting.

It will be very hard or perhaps impossible to machine a bushing with such a thin wall.

Yes, nice work. I have had issues with two of the light metal drain plugs on the 928. They like to round off when you tug. I usually hit the wrench hard to provide some impact to break them loose...still sometimes it doesn't work. Why did Porsche use a light metal here? Does this include a magnet?
