Most of the chain auto parts stores have PB Blaster. I *think* I have seen it at walmart as well, but can't swear to it.
It is in a white and yellow can with red and black writing and a yellow top. IIRC (too cold to go look this late)

If you have PS, then give up on the impact wrench. On my '69 F250, I removed 'em after i pulled the heads to rebuild the engine. I would say for a week or so spray this PB Blaster on there, I did, and it helped, I think. Also, if you have access to a torch of some sort, one of the guys suggested getting the ears on the head cherry red, then trying it(wearing thick gloves, of course). Seems to me it would work, getting hot enough the rust might loosen up a little. Granted, you can only do that on the top of the head, but I didn't have any of the bottom bolts break on me. Good luck, whichever route you go.

Hey there,
Kroil is crap and pb blaster not much better. Get CRC screwloose That stuff is amazing and will loosen anything in a couple minutes. It's pretty new stuff. I just used it on my rusted header bolts a few days ago. I don't know where to get it as I buy it through work.

pb blaster didnt really help me much when i did my manifolds this summer, after weeks of spraying them everyday i still broke almost all on one side. i used a torch on the other side and got them all out. but pb blaster did cause alot of smoke from where it dripped down my exhaust pipes when i finally got the new manifolds on and was letting her run for a bit.
