I too just purchased the coil pack/ign. module and a wastegate hose. Great price, and Glen went out of his way to accomodate me. Thanks, Glen.

Exclamation RE: Free Stainless Steel Coil Mounting Screws

Thanks to everyone that has purchased ACDelco ignition modules w/ FREE ignition coil packs.

Based on feedback we received from a very good customer, we would like to post the following;

FYI: Do not use the free stainless steel coil mounting appearance screws supplied to tap out the threads in the bosses of the new module.

When replacing the ignition module, it is necessary to tap coil mounting screw threads in the bosses of the new module. Although it is recommended to use the proper size/pitch thread tap to perform this task, it is also possible to use the original regular steel torx-head coil mounting screws to accomplish this. Although the stainless steel mounting screws are corrosion resistant and look great, they may not have the hardness necessary to tap out new threads in the new module without presenting difficulty.

After you finish tapping out the threads in the new module with the proper thread tap or the old regular steel torx-head coil mounting screws, you can then install the new stainless steel appearance screws without a problem.

Feel free to PM or call me at 847-612-6969 for any further information.

Best Regards: Glen@nos4gn

Ummm, FWIW, the base of the module is aluminum isnt it? Stainless and aluminum dont mix. You'll get the screws in, but in a few weeks, you wont get them out.

------------------------------
Jim: FWIW & IMHO, I don't believe that this is necessarily correct in all cases. Stainless does not mix well with just about any other metal that is as hard or softer than stainless due to a condition known as galling, where pieces of the softer metal, in this case aluminum, are removed and adhered to the stainless. Some types of lubrication will lessen this condition. This generally only occurs with, but is not limited to, tight fitting threads, or oversize major, minor, or pitch diameters on a male thread, or any or all of the opposite conditions on a female thread. Exposure to extreme snow/rain/humidity conditions over a long period of time mightn also cause corrosion issues between the dissimiliar metals. HTH.

Corrosion of Dissimilar Metals

Hello Jim,

Great question! This is a good subject which rarely gets addressed in the automotive field.

Answer:
There should be absolutely no problem in removing stainless steel coil mounting screws joined to an aluminum ignition module case.

Here's why:


I am assuming that you are referring to corrosion caused by two dissimilar metals with different volt potential differences from less noble (anodic) to more noble (cathodic) as charted in the galvanic series of metals.


The Galvanic Series of some common Metals:

1. Magnesium
2. Aluminum
3. Zinc
4. Steel
5. Iron
6. Nickel
7. Stainless Steel (400 series)
8. Tin
9. Lead
10. Brass
11. Copper
12. Bronze

There are three major factors which need to be taken into consideration when addressing the application of stainless steel (or regular steel) screws to an aluminum ignition module case:

1) When ANY two metals of this list are in contact, WITH AN ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION PRESENT (such as battery acid in a battery), the one with the lower number is corroded. The important point here is that the application of stainless steel coil mounting screws and an aluminum ignition module case has no electrolytic solution present to conduct the flow of electrons from the anodic metal (aluminum) to the cathodic metal (stainless steel) even though the two metals are in direct contact.

An automotive battery works on the same principle using plates of lead and lead oxide. If you take away the electrolyte, you cannot generate any current flow even if the plates were touching each other, they must be separated and immersed in the electrolyte (Sulfuric Acid).


2) The other fact that needs to be taken into consideration is that the relative areas of the two dissimilar metals being joined together directly affect the extent of corrosion. Under most all conditions, the extent of corrosion will be directly proportional to the ratio of the area of the metal lower on the list.

For example, a piece of aluminum being joined to a piece of stainless steel with a surface area 300 times greater will corrode 300 times as fast as opposed to a piece of aluminum being joined to a piece of stainless steel the same size. Likewise; joining a stainless steel screw with a surface area roughly 1/300th the size of an aluminum ignition module case will corrode only 1/300 as fast. (almost negligible)

Case and point: an engine block and heads of aluminum can be assembled with steel bolts without causing the block and heads to immediatly corrode and disintegrate.


3) Stainless steel screws are no more likely to corrode an aluminum ignition module case than regular steel screws according to all known data.


Hope this sheds some light on the subject.


Best regards; Glen@nos4gn
