    67 Year Old Head Bolts

    if the bolt were never removed there is always the possibility the factory paint sealed the edge stopping the capilary action of the release agent used. Try using a sharp and pointy exacto knife blade all around the bolt head to remove the paint . A water clear silicone spray should...
