Green locktite (680) will work. It is made for cylindrical bonding. Once used you will need heat to remove it again.
It could be your pressure cap is weak. This will cause you to loose coolant at higher engine temperatures.
The problem seems to have been with the body ground cable attached between the engine and the frame. It is located near the front crossmember under the van. It is exposed to all the road salt we put down during the winter. This one rotted almost completely in half. I replaced it and the van started right up with no codes or warning lights.

I agree with the previous posts. Fleet maintenance is a good deal. I’ve had success working at a taxi cab and wheelchair van company. Factories also need mechanics. Alot of the machinery in a factory is far less complex than autos.

Some oil pans are impossible to remove with the engine inside the car. Others are very easy to change. If you can see all the oil pan bolts,and the exhaust or something isn’t in the way, they come right out. Those leak seal additives swell up seals to make them seal better. It may be a temporary solution, but probably not in your case.

I looked, and you can get a metric thread file at Lowes. It looks like they are in your area. That kit you have in your post from sears also has them included. Hope this helps Paul.

A die will be hard to use because the stud will spin as you try to rethread. Try the thread file. It can be used with the components in place. In the kit you have in your post, the two rectangular things are thread files.

Hi Paul. There is a tool called a thread file that will fix your problem. It is the perfect tool for this kind of damage. They don’t cost much,10 or 15 bucks. The best part is one thread file repairs 4 differant thread pitches.
