Doing my first 740 b-230 head job (done a b-20 and 21 before - LOL). Naturally after getting everything off and ready to remove the head - three bolts out of the group would not budge and I rounded all three!! Now I am stuck trying to figure a way to beat a smaller head socket ( they are 14 MM) or find some way of extracting them with a special tool.

I have nice sears extractor set, but this will not work in the tight quarters inside the head. Any ideas? Already bought a new reman head so three bolts separate me from putting it on?? There has to be a simple solution! Man the other were a bear to get off - I went in sequence but after the one rounded I got mad!
