Is HeliCoil stronger than original threads?
Is HeliCoil stronger than original threads?
If a thread is “static” i.e. not likely to be done up and undone more than a few times in its lifetime, we would always say a helicoil type thread is the strongest option. There is not a lot of difference in strength between a Time-Sert and a wire STI and both protect soft alloys from stripping.
Is the starter mounting ear on my Chevy broken?
It’s not almost broken off, so much as there’s a small part of it already broken off at the bottom and the remainder of it is still on the block. That would preclude trying to weld on the missing piece, but not trying to fill the space with epoxy. This hole does go all the way through, but I’m not sure if it is tapped for its entire length.

What to do with a broken starter ear?
ALMOST Spidey ! If you’re in it for a block, might as well try and JB Weld a stud of appropriate length on to it first. Kwik Weld works good and takes about five to ten minutes to get sticky enough to support it’s own weight and keep from dripping down.
Where are the bolt holes on a Chevy starter?
Most blocks come predrilled for use with either starter, which can lead to confusion. If your car is equipped with a 12 3/4-inch flywheel with 153 teeth, the nose cone will have two attachment bolt holes across from each other. These holes will be parallel to the crankshaft.

Is there any way to fix a broken starter block?
If the threads are pulled/stripped out from the block then you can drill the block and use some “Timeserts” or “Helicoil” for the repair. Unfortunately if the block is actually broken/cracked the only way to fix it is with a replacement block.
