I don't have the tools but if you get a hold of a set (tap and die set can be rented from Checker... er... O'Rielly Auto Parts for free) and a drill, and a proper bit, I'm can help you out. If you can pay for the fuel to get there and back I can drive you there and we can get er done.

I dunno what Jeep you have but I'm PRETTY sure that on the 4.0/4.2 in line 6 the t-stat housing is replaceable ... at worst you can hit up jeeps unlimitied up near wray and get one off a motor there ...

might be a CRAP load easier then the whole tap die heli coil thing .

oh hell I think thatis just the upper housing.. not lower.. the lower is right into the head huh ??


well what a useless comment ....

If it weren't so darn far out of my way (or if the damn thing coulda waited 'til Friday lol) I'd have you running in no time. Sorry I could be of no assistance but here's to wishing you the best of luck bro.

$50 car dolly from the rental shop and tow it home with someone's truck.

We shall see if he gets it home. it turned out to be a V-8 so the bolt was down a bit. I got it drilled and soaked it but still broke the easy-out not even trying. I could not have had more than 10ft lb on it when it snapped.

So phase 2 was to clean it and put some RTV on it. Then after tightening the one bolt down let it sit for 3-4 hours. It looked like someone had replaced the thermostat at one time and did not use anti-seize on the bolt into the aluminum manifold..

I do need to find a good set of extractors. I have a set of Rigid ones with the collars and guides but they were not going to work in this application. I am getting tired of the brittle chinese crap.

I've not used easy outs since I bought left handed drill bits.
They are your friend!

Jerry, that sounds like a pain in the ass.
