Default Re: Stuck Head

I'm pulling the engine today and will deal with the one remaining stud and the two that broke once the engine is removed.

I have gone through one can of Liquid Wrench and one can of PB Blaster and about 4oz of Acetone and trans fluid mix. I have noticed that most of the studs ends that are in the block have come out dry. The penetrant oil isn't penetrating very well. The last two studs were removed by heating the studs to glowing red, once mostly cooled, I put candle wax to the studs and tapped with a hammer as it melted. Those threads were 3/4 covered in wax.

Regards
Bill
