uh
yea so the dealer admits doing it but magically wont pay for it?
i dont see how that is possible, in the wide world of lawyers and legal battles.
how many did u strip and did u strip the bolts out or strip the studs, there are a few studs for alignment with nuts on them.
i dont see why a good amount of RTV and a new oil pan seal cant fix this problem.
btw u'd be surprised what idiots can do with steel bolts and aluminum blocks. its not pretty
