I put the Fram suredrain thing on a couple of years ago. I think its great. I had to grind off the barbed fitting that has the plastic hose( original was too long and would not screw in because of the Y pipe)
If your threads are gone, dont know if you want too, but you could try retaaping it to a larger size that the Suredrain comes in, and use loctite to keep the new piece from ever moving.
ad then you'll never have to unscrew this. unless you want to mod the engine.
