Mapp gas is about the hottest you will get without stepping up to oxy/acetylene or oxy/propane. I have used the mapp gas to free a rusted cylinder head bolt that broke off in the block before. It works, just takes longer, but it wont work that great if you need to heat a larger area obviously.92 Mazda MX3 GS> For sale, $1750 OBO

I have oxy acetylene and propane...I'm discovering that propane works fine, just need to keep it there longer... a proper tip is good too... I have a fat tip on it...I'd use my oxy acetylene but I have the small tote kit and the tanks run out too quickly...91 GT- Li'l Bee (under construction)
