well i tried heating and release oil and cycling the two, still wont budge and my ez out has lost its edge from the inside, the torque on the ez-out was visible and didnt want to shear that off. i'll take into an engineering place on monday have them drill it out.

The Guhring drill bit i have that is the right size is unfortunately worn though the smaller sizes went through the stuck bolt like butter and the HSS drill bits offered for retail are frankly cr@p and do about 1mm before blunting.

It's on a multipoint LPG system so of course the coil packs are completely inaccessible.

I had a misfire shortly after I had the heads off for a skim and new gaskets. Where I'd been moving the injector harness about I'd broken one of the (terribly) soldered joints where the LPG had been installed. I found it by letting the LPG kick in and unplugging the injector plug - no change to how it ran or sounded. Stripped back the loom tape and found the break.
