Bad theory there Snowman. What magical force do you think holds on fasteners that don't use locktite or similar chemicals?

Corrosion and metal bonding are the two of the most powerful forces that keep fasteners from coming apart like they should. All the heat in the world will not do much to change these problems unless you use the heat in a way that will break the bonded surfaces apart and provide additional clearance for the corroded surfaces to move by one another.

I have done this repeatedly, I have seen this done repeatedly, I have been told that it works by a professor of automotive machine shop technology, who has been using this method and teaching it for over 30 years, I have seen this demonstrated a dozen times, without failure, I have done this myself untold times without failure, IT WORKS!
If you stood on your head and removed studs it does not mean that the two events are related to each other.

In addition to years spent working in an automotive machine shop and additional years spent working on cars and motorcycles I know what I am talking about here.

If that is not enough for you I also got a degree in aerospace engineering while turning wrenches so I can also back up a lot of real world experience with a thourough understanding of metalurgy and mechanics.

Before you are expected to design aircraft or automobiles they teach you quite a bit about fastener technolgy on your way to a BSAE. Fasteners make the world go around after all.
