Real Time Help - Oil Pan / Drain

[Simplespirit]

Went to do my 2nd oil change on my 100 (previous went fine) and this happened:

Drain bolt removed and drained oil (no issues)
Went to replace the drain bolt and it started spinning almost as soon as it started to snug up
Backed it out and found the attached image
I'm guessing there was a heli-coil installed and that is what is attached to the bolt
I checked the hole and there are no threads at all, so I'm not even sure how a heli-coil could have been installed, but I admittedly know little about the process

What are my options? I'm assuming the worst which means getting her towed and having the pan replaced. It looks like at least the front cross-member has to come out and possibly more to drop the pan.

Would this work?

Time-Sert Repair Kit

Also tried to get a decent shot of the lack of threads

we use the matco kit at work, OIL PAN RETHREADING KIT PR588 | Matco Tools. its a lot of money but if you find something similar you should be in good shape, theres enough meat in the pan to drill out and tap new threads in.

Another option is oversized drainplug from your local discount auto parts or NAPA.

Got the Time-Sert kit off Amazon and it was delivered today. Took me about an hour to install with flushes between the steps. Sealed it and filled it. Cranked her up and let her run up to temp, revved it a bit, and took for a run up the road. Dry as a bone so far.

In case anyone else runs into this, the Time Sert kit came with 5 inserts so I have 4 remaining. I'm willing to send the kit forward at the cost of shipping and it should fit in a small flat rate box.
