How do you propose to heat the cylinder head casting? Half an hour with a heat gun on each stud? I have done this a zillion times: ten seconds per stud. I usually zap it with the TiG. Yes the stud expands but when it does, it is no longer stuck...
I think it best to discourage taking a machine apart simply to clean it especially if (no offence buddy) the person doesn't even know what the item is. [size=78%]This is mine I pulled during a gearbox refurb:[/size]

Obviously I gave it a good clean but it gets dirty almost immediately. Don't see the point really. You can get decent results with Gunk and a can of barbecue black.
