So for starters my car is boosted, im sure it plays a role in this situation, so I wanted to get that out there. The car is on 90.3k miles and ive been boosted for 30k. I daily the car but I dont drive crazy but rather baby the car. Here is the issue though, I began to leak oil all around my oil pan as of recent so I was replacing the sealant. No problem right? Well I didnt know this up until now, but a friend of mine who helped me boost my car was the one who put my oil pan on initially. But what happened was that he used a non oem bolt that wasn't the same thread pitch and dethreaded the area for where it mounts.
So as I carry on to installing the new sealant, I am now having to tap into the area where the bolt mounts, and I make attempt to rethread the m6 threads back but that failed as the bolt is still not even catching thread. So the last thing I can but didn't want to do was move to an m7. I do this successfully but when the m7 started to go in about 1/2 way in, the mounting area snaps off the block exposing the bolt in the oil pan area. I will include pictures as reference to where im talking about.
Any advice on what should happen? I've talked to a few friends who have built motors about this, and they all say to put the bolts back in since they still thread and require torque. And if that were to fail and leak oil, to put a locking nut on the opposite end and do the same.
