Also, inserting a steel sleeve into tapped and re-threaded bore (not sure if I am using the correct terminology). That way it will prevent the aluminum drain bolts from cross-threading or stripping out in the oil pan and hopefully prevent any issues in the future.

I have my original oil pan from when ACM replaced it and considering to time-sert it as well. Either keep it as a backup or sell, but once I get around to doing it I will figure it out.
