I have to look at my 108 which has an ACR issue, too. It turns over and starts OK, but occasionally stops on the compression stroke and the starter belt squeals a little. But it's always started, so it more of an annoyance than a roadblock.
On the oil pan, I've Heli-coiled several. Get the kit, drill out and tap the holes, and screw in the inserts. Works fine. I figure if they lasted 40 years so far, the helicoil fix should work for another...And once you have the drill and tap set, the only cost is the inserts.
