As it says in the title, I need someone to remove the remains of 2 seized bolts, probably by drilling out, and helicoil the bolt holes for the thermostat housing on an alloy inlet manifold. Any recommendations to have this done professionally?


Thanks

Can't recommend any specific companies but are there any engineering machine shops near you? They will be able to do it for you in 10-15 minutes.
