new oil pan bolt?

i need a new oil pan bolt. the head on mine is EF'd. i went to ace and any bolts i found with the correct pitch (1.75 i think) was too small in diameter, head was too big, right diameter wrong pitch...ect. any other suggestions? id rather not have to order one from honda and then wait a week for it to get here. i may just take the head to a grinder and make it a size smaller to get a socket on it.


PS>>>i mean drain bolt.

That works. Just go a little at a time until the socket fits. Torque it to spec, with a crush washer. 22 ft lbs for the drain plug. Then order a new one before your next oil change.
