<VV> Helicoil Size--Oil Pan Bolts

[John Green]

All,

As you may remember I recently posted on stripped oil pan bolt holes. One
suggestion was to catch a few threads with a longer bolt.  This worked, but
I decided on inserting a helicoil as a more permanent solution. The
helicoils I bought at FLAPS are 0.375 inches long. Question: are these large
enough or should I search for longer ones?
