Just replaced the rear main and while putting the oil pan back on I came across a bolt hole where the threads are stripped out. I can get the bolt to say in but there is no torque on it. Do you guys think I should drill and tap the hole for one of the larger size oil pan bolts? The hole that's stripped is one in the front. in the picture below it's the one in the right corner of the passenger side. What do you think I should do?
