I have an issue with a bolt on one of the cylinder heads on one boat
engine I have. I need to swap cylinder heads on the boats, and the
donor boat is fighting me tooth and nail.

The problem is that 1 bolt will not come off. It's towards the bottom
of the engine (I had to take off part of the engine cover part) and
no
matter what I do (vice grips, socket, soak it with liquid wrench)
nothing will budge this thing.

Any suggestions? I can provide pictures to better explain where the
bolt is.

six sided 1/2 inch drive socket and a long breaker bar. Since it is a
donor
anyway, what does it matter if you break the bolt?

tried that, and it just rounded over the bolt (and then I did more
rounding over with the vice grips, intermixed with four letter words).

Craftsman makes some sockets that are made to work on rounded bolts.
They are really nice. The more torque the tighter they grasp.

Nice series of positive contributions Kevin. Good advice! ;-)
