Angry Head Gasket Replacement Failure

Since I could not complete my mission I decided to shame myself to fellow toyota runners.
Have an 87 4runner with 22re that had a slow oil leak between head and timing chain cover.
I ripped everything down to the head bolts where the failure happened. Good old exhaust side head bolt one before last bolt is frozen solid.
With this being my only vehicle I cannot afford to snap that bolt so as of tomorrow I will put all back together and cross fingers I did not do any new damage or now have more leaks.
Disappointed but it may just be time to invest in a newer toyota.
Sorry for the let down boys and girls.

Get you a cheap propane torch from HF or lowes and heat that badboy up she will come loose. and even if it doesnt a quick drill and thread insert and itll be good as new doesnt take alot of time.

And then what?
You still plan to sell it that way? Are you going to disclose to buyer?
Just fix it man! The bolt will come out.
