Trying to install a Metalcloak Oil Pan Skid Plate https://metalcloak.com/oil-pan-skid-plate-for-4-0l-jeep-tj-lj.html
The front attaches to the engine block but the included hardware (3/8" x16) doesn't seem to fit the threaded holes - it starts but only goes a couple treads in. I have tried every size and thread pitch anywhere close but none work? Anyone know what size fits here? Any chance it is a tapered hole - I have not put a wrench on it for fear of stripping it? I am to the point of trying to tap it.....
