2 Days and two pre-combustion chambers out. I started out with a few tools and by the end of the day I had a big mess. The next two are going to be more trouble as they stripped out where the removing tool fits.  Bill

Not going back to read and remember what all you have going, but if you can get replacement for your chambers weld a bolt into the top. When it cools generally things come out easier as you have heated the rust and as it shrinks the rust lets go.

That is good news. I have seen videos of Squatch using a 40 ft cheater bar

  to get some loose but does an impact work for getting them out?  Or will an impact "round" out the internal edges like what happened to these?  On a lot of farm machinery I have found the impact (Plus Kroil) does a better job than a long cheater bar.

this could be probably another thread but it's good...for stuck/ stubborn fasteners/threads...my list...

1) heat of any kind, welding washers, nuts, etc...torch...all good....be safe doing so...
2) penetrating oils and time...
3) impact guns of some kind...something that delivers a shock etc...
4) usually any kind of movement is good...keep working...
