We have an issue with a 2011 Detroit 60 ac compressor mount. Over the past few months the top bolt on the mount keep breaking and then backing out and rubbing on the ac/alternator/water pump belt. We have tried using grade 8 bolts as a replacement and they keep breaking. Any suggestions or after market parts that we can change this out with?

Is that a 3/8" bolt in a 10mm bolt hole? How tight are you tightening it?

I had the same problem. The bolt holes on the front cover get egged out allowed the bolts to move. Best bet is to get a different compressor that mounts using three bolts through the front cover instead of two. I did see a engine that had the bolt holes reamed out, then sleeved with a harder metal to run the bolts through. Guy said it was doing the job but I never saw him again so I can't tell if that worked. I saw another guy that changed to grade 8 bolts. Don't do that. His bolts lasted longer but ended up egging the holes in the block out too.
