Thank you, I went into my email and PMs but I had hit the magic button and lost all my messages and couldn't remember who told me about this company. I remembered it was an EYE though so I was almost there!!
I started my rebuild yesterday but have three head bolts that are stuck. I have heated the case in boiling water and even used a small torch and still can't get them out. So far all I have are some scraped knuckles for proof that I am working on an engine. When I used to work on cars it was said you didn't really work on one until you drew blood, no blood yet but missing flesh should count for something!
Have you tried shocking them? Get a broad ended punch, put it againt the head of the screw and whack it with a small lighweight hammer.

Oh, and a shot of PB Blaster will help!
