Hey I have an old TA rc10GT that i have had for a long time and i have not worked on it or done anything with it for a long time as well. i have dictated to get it running again. was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to brake lose screws that are well not coming out with out drilling them out. the screws that are stuck are the ones on top of the motor that hold on the heat fines. any ideas would be great thanks.

haha, those are a pain in the butt!!! The best way to do this is to pull the engine out of the truck, remove the carb, backplate and glowplug, and anything else that can melt, and put the engine in your oven on a cookie sheet at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes. Pull it out of the oven with a pot holder, and while still hot, try to remove the screws.
If you have already rounded them out, then your only option is to drill the heads off of them.
