Agreed.
I find that using oxy/acetylene and getting a lot of localised heat in quickly works much better than fanning it with a DIY butane torch.

Agree, oxy/acetylene rather than a butane torch. The block for my new Ulster engine had studs in a worse condition than those in the original posts and all came out without breakages, manifold studs as well. If you do break a stud, the drill guides as detailed in Woodrow work very well when used with the cylinder head. Simple to make if you have a lathe or know someone who does.
