I'm a young fellow of 86, an old mechanic told me about the gas welder trick in the early '70's. I really had to think long and hard about trying it, but then the alternate was to disassemble the engine to get the head off, take the head to a machine shop and have them remove the broken bolt, then re-assemble the engine.
