i took off all three but one didnt want to come off. The bolts that hold the engine in tacked. Hoe can i get it off?
 
Cut a notch into it with a dremel and then use a flat head screw driver.

Sometimes you can hammer and old torx bit in get the screw out. Doesn't always work tho

I've tried adding that option twice on my phone....I guess it didn't go through either time.

You can also JB Weld an old donor hex driver to the bolt.
 
You may be able to force a torx bit into it, a hammer will help. I've also seen people JB Weld a donor hex driver into the stripper screw.

Drill it. Get a drill bit that is just a little larger than the threaded part of the bolt and drill down through the head. After you drill the head off, remove the engine and take out the rest of the bolt with a pair of channel locks or pliers.
 
I'm going to try the hammer with the torx bit if that doesn't turn out good ill use the dremel
 
What do you mean like straight heat it up from the bottom?

With a heat gun or what ever heats up
 
A small torch, or a pencil torch, they can be bought at local hardware store for like 10-20$...

It's an engine mount right, so heat the part of the mount that the screw is in just before you back it out,..

Once you have that little torch there are all sorts of things to use it on, it will pay for itself over and over
 
Ok definitely going to get one can i get it in smoke shops too?
