Looking to purchase a blowtorch to remove some engine head nuts. Can you recommend one please?

I’ve got an engine to play with this winterImage

this is what I use, be careful of heating valve springs.

Comes with hose and regulator but needs a propane bottle

I use one of them also, for big jobs a carbon arc gives me as much heat as I could possibly need. :)

For my big jobs I still use a good old tin of prunes.
