Know that sometimes the flame blossoming from the common propane torch may not hold enough BTUs to get the job done. Either way, oxy or propane, heat the bolt. No need to go red-hot, but hot enough so droplets of water flicked onto the bolt sizzle off into a vapor. more
Don't make the rookie mistake of trying to free a stuck bolt with brute force, especially a fastener stuck in an aluminum housing. Otherwise it may snap off further complicating matters. It's a better strategy to walk away form a job for a day or two than risk making the situation worse. Besides, it's almost karmic the way coming back to a job after even a short break seems to make things go more smoothly.
Sometimes the corners of bolt head round off making it impossible for a wrench or socket to grasp hold. Purely mechanical methods are also effective. Sometimes. Extractors are useful when the bolt head has been rounded-off leaving nothing for a wrench or socket to grip hold of. The most common method is to drill a hole in the bolt head, from the top down, a bored tunnel inside the bolt, paralleling the threaded shank. That done, thread an extractor bit into the hole until it bottoms out. In effect the bit becomes a new bolt head, one you can really grab hold of. Because its threads are left hand, cranking counter clockwise on the extractor grips the bolt tighter and tighter. [links]
If you work on a boat you already know from experience nuts and bolts freeze in their threaded bores with frustrating frequency. Sometimes it's a carbon steel bolt corroded solid on a cylinder head. Other times it's a stainless steel bolt frozen solid in an aluminum lower unit. Trust me. The only way to break it loose is with patience, bloody patience. Count to ten. Swallow the frustration. Then, one by one, follow the timeworn remedies revealed below that have been passed on from the dawning of the Iron Age. Next time a nut or bolt won't budge, don't make the mistake of losing your temper. Instead, heat it, or freeze it.
One of my Model A Ford engines was stuck when I bought it. The car had not been used in about thirty years and the coolant had not been drained.
There is one other thing that can cause an engine to stick, no rust involved. That is, the carbon buildup on the piston skirt. It dries out and can act like glue. here
Here's an afterthought pertaining to aluminum pistons.
Aluminum oxide was the culprit. There probably isn't a iron rust removal product in the world that will dissolve aluminum oxide. (Has anyone ever been able to dissolve an aluminum oxide grinding wheel?) more
