Zonie, I'm sure you're sick of it by now "but", I always remembered what my vocational teacher always preached about heat, I use heat when I need some confidence,Sorry guys I'm not a big PB Blaster fan, Heat expands metal, makes it swell , only a little , but sometimes thats all you need, tapping on the stud is also something my instructor believed in too, In this case an electric heat gun won't provide enough heat, try the torch, gently lick the flame over the surrounding area, being a cylinder head ,it'll take awhile ,as that is a big heat sink , don't train the heat so it gets the head cherry red, just don't want to heat up the stud either, just the metal around it, be patient, this is serious .,the next resort is the grizzly task of drilling , if it's broke off hopefully you'll have enough to weld( arc welder) a nut or thick flat washer to, it does sometimes take several tries , the idea is to allow the surrounding metal to loosen it's grip by expanding it , don't rush , you are the doctor
