Right!
I remember when I was removing the Dilavar studs from my 3.0, I had to stop work on one stud I was heating. It was moving pretty good when I stopped. When I got back to the stud, it would have broken off rather than come out easily. Some more heat around the cylinder spigot and it finally came out.
