Had some Korean filter with a junk seal. The problem is there is a huge lack of work ethic and personal responsibility for a job performed these days. It's all about in and out as quickly as possible which just causes more problems and time wasted down in the end. Do it right or don't do it at all. Plus people always want to safe a few bucks and go with lower quality aftermarket parts. But yeah, a stripped head is a complete win compared to stripping the pan threads - you're actually lucky.

Yeah I'd definitely consider myself lucky here. I'll be bringing it to a shop who I partner with for work who I know has some of the best tech's in the area. They're an hour away, but I have to be there Monday anyway. I'll bring my oil and everything and just have them do it for me. Better safe than sorry and I've already made a mess of the hole so I'm worried that it may have to be drilled which isn't ideal. I'll post an update once I have one. Thanks everyone for your input!
