The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Oil Pan Plug

fordfun · 11-21-2015, 04:22 PM

Last week, after running the Coupe for the last time this year, I removed the drain plug and let the oil drain for a few days. Today I decided to replace the copper gasket before reinstalling the plug and refilling with oil. I find that the replacement gaskets provided by the vendor are 3/4" ID and my plug is 7/8" OD x 16 threads per inch.

Do I have a non-standard size plug, or are the gaskets incorrect? If the plug is incorrect can you suggest a source for 7/8" ID gaskets for the plug?

Thanks - Bill
