Parts store should have PB blaster, and it works on the same principal.

i have pb blaster but i wasnt sure it would be good enough(thinking worst case scenerio here) so it looks like i might try the 50/50 trans and acetone mix, what would be ideal to mix it in and get it to the back of the manifold bolts in the back pass side of the head, did a little searching looks like order only for kroil ? i might pick up a few diff cans of stuff that other ppl had luck with , thanks guys,

Honestly, unless you have set that motor down in mud for years on end, you shouldn't have an issue. I know that the intake bolts are soft, but you shouldn't have an issue. Now, don't confuse this with me telling you it's OK to go and take an impact gun to those bolts, because it's not.

As a side note, in my neck of the woods, no one has heard of Kroil. Hell, even my Stepdad standing over my shoulder watching as I type this doesn't know what it is.

When I have a stuck bolt, I'll hit it with WD-40, and if that doesn't do the trick, I'll get out a can of Seafoam Deep Creep. The last isn't what it was made for, but I find that the oily consistency of it, works very much good.
