Possible to repair HELICOIL HEAT EXCHANGER COIL??
I think my heli-coil coil head broke due to freezing cold weather. my solution and coolant are mixed in the radiator tank.

does anybody know if this is repairable or requires a completely new Helicoil could?

thank you.
Thats gonna be costly. Not sure if repairable. I'd call an Aramsco distributor to verify availability and fixability. Can you divert your hoses around it to clean in meantime?

Also if I diverted the hoses wouldn’t that stop coolant from getting to the engine?

Thanks for your reply

Maybe not because the coolant still circulates through the hoses bypassing the heat exchanger. I have one I noticed at my warehouse today. Not sure exact condition.

Thanks for your reply Rob, yes I was concerned about the engine overheating if I bypass the Helicoil. I have a mechanic looking into the machine on the 3rd. It's been a pain because everywhere is closed over Christmas and the new year.

Would you consider selling your spare Helicoil failing all other options?

thanks, Ben

Yes I'd sell it. I dont see how it would overheat because you still have a radiator. PM me for details if you want the one I have.
