Safe to Heli-coil AC bracket to cylinder head?
Originally, the hope was to not have to pull the heads. All a moot point once they've got to be pulled. I've got access to a welder if I can bring the head in, I can swap sides, or my uncle has a low mileage set I can have. Just going to put the low mileage set on and be done with it. Over 150...- Olypen Guy

Safe to Heli-coil AC bracket to cylinder head?
Kenny, agreed 100%! To top it off, I have not been able to locate a power supply. Tig is what I'm trained in, but there's just not good sight and room. I've got everything together now, and will be pulling the heads this weekend with any luck. Just really wish I had the funds to swap out from...- Olypen Guy

Safe to Heli-coil AC bracket to cylinder head?
Before this one, I swore I would never deal with easy outs again... But being on hard times money wise, I had a lapse in judgement. LOL. I have tried just about everything to get that busted piece of easy out to come free short of drilling it with a Cobalt bit. I think I will try a small bit at...- Olypen Guy

Not an option to drive it right now. It took several stops to cool down just driving it 4 miles back home. Took over 2 hours.- Olypen Guy

Safe to Heli-coil AC bracket to cylinder head?
I had originally thought about doing just that. But I'm concerned that the bolt is broken just far enough in the hole that I won't be able to get a good weld without messing up the beginning of the threads. At this point it might as well be worth trying though. If I have to Heli-coil it and...- Olypen Guy

Hello from Western Washington
Hi, my name's Dan. I live in Shelton Washington with my family. I'm a long time lurker, but decided it was time to join now that I have an issue which has been fighting me. I'm currently back in school at 33 after the mill I worked at was closed down and demolished. I'm seeking my AAS in...- Olypen Guy

Safe to Heli-coil AC bracket to cylinder head?
I've got a 1992 k2500 with the 5.7 TBI. Previous owner at some point broke both the stud and bolt that hold the aluminum AC bracket to the cylinder head. I was able to retrieve one from the head, but the other, I've now broken two easy outs into it. There's not enough left to drill it any bigger...- Olypen Guy
