    I used a lot of PB Blaster (nasty smelling penetrating oil) and a torch. But my engine wasn't locked up... You don't want to remove the head studs unless you absolutely have to. I had to remove about 10 of mine due to total rust of the threads (was a salty Minnesota core). Regarding the head nuts - I had to drill and chisel about half of mine off due to the nuts and studs rusting into a single mass. Regarding the electrolytic removal - I set that up too. It's largely "line of site" - won't do you much good for getting rid of rust that's deep inside, like on the connecting rods or rings inside the engine, for example.

    I had great luck with the deep down rust. The pistons came right out of the jugs after I finished. I put 10 amps and let it sit overnight. I could not even budge the thing before that..
