Right John, but there are kits that thread a new hole and you get a new oversize plug. Dealers, of course, don't like to do things like that if they can sell you a new pan. Anyway, you got all new parts and should last a long time, if your keeping the PT. Find any kind of club or gathering in the area yet. I see lots of PT's around when I visit my son, you just have to get them all together.
