hi

so since this engine was used for several years in salt water nothing on this engine been easy

but 2 of the lower mid section the rubber mounts well i was able to loosen 2 bolts one on each side but 2 others are tight as hell.

450 pound air gun. a breaker bar,, an extension pipe on the bar will not loosen these 2 bolts

usually just oxy ace,.... but since this is mostly rubber its either going to melt or catch fire..

can i just heat the bolt on the head or does it have be be heated outside the threaded housing the bolt threads into
 
nevermind i got one out of the 2 left and the 2nd one the bolts head broke off

heat didnt work and the corrision so bad i gotta try to get it out or get machine shop


so much corrision with the blue loctite i seen on it
