Angry Block is stripped???

I posted yesterday about my oil pan leaking after getting it back from a reman

installaiton. I brought it in to my buddies shop. Looked up the torque specs and

went over most of the bolts that are accessible. Most of them were too loose.

But the iceing on the topping is that one of them just kept spining and spining.

I think the guy that did my swap stripped the block. Im at work right now (Tires

Plus) and once it gets slow im going to bring it in and check it out and see how

much more leaked.

Anyone have any ideas about what to do?

thaks

Take out bolt. Clean out bolt hole. Insert helicoil, put bolt back.
