Stubborn Bolt Removal

[BeeJay]

The motor seems to be seized so I thought I wold remove this plug to ensure that the oil gallery was not blocked. It won't budge!!!!.
Do you think PB Blaster would work ok ? Or should I just replace the engine. I've read here in the past that it is usually cheaper to rebuild than replace ?a

Plasma heater will do it.

PB Blaster or the like and heat. Tapping while spraying the Blaster and for a while after may help.

Looks like an engine that washed up on the beach. But I'm sure it can still be rebuilt.

Yes - the tides in at the moment, but when it ebbs I'll see what I can do. what sort of motor do you think it is ? ..... a Rocna or a Danforth maybe ?
