    I need to find bolt that will screw into my plug hole ,a long bolt so I can tap over on it and straighted the bung . My plug leaks because the gasket (even a new one) does not have enough compression on one side as it is bent slightly.

    1/2"x 20 go easy as the bung is more of a tack weld and can break loose-good luck

    What about trying to use a peice of plate with a hole in it and slowly tightening the bolt into the pan and using the plate to pull the bung back straight?
