there is some justification to working on a "warm" engine. being we have an aluminum head and the bolts are steel the aluminum will expand faster that the steel therefore making the bolts a little easier to remove. but i wouldn't recomend working on a HOT head. i think we can say that the majority of us are concerned with reliability right. now when you remove a hot steel bolt from a hot alu. head the head will cool faster than the bolt and will loose some tensil strength--->this would be why you stripped bolts. these people you say are "pros" that helped you are they ASE certified mechanics?
if no, then they are not pros.

but i'm sorry if you are not ase certified you are not a mechanic, you are a handyman. if these people are such great mechanics tell them to take an ase test.
