Isn't it ironic that no place that I've been to including Home Depot, Lowes and Ace Hardware has anything like copper anti-seize.
By the way just to ask that random question again: will a standard engine stand hold the K-100 hundred engine?
To answer your first question, jj, I think it's odd that you wouldn't go looking for that stuff at an automotive specialist first. The Ace ten miles from me has it in their automotive section though.
Many of us have done the broke-the-damned-easyout-trying-to-get-the-damned-siezed-broken-bolt-out routine. Many of us have learned from that when to reef, when not to reef, and that not every bolt complies graciously without coaxing first. My experience has shown me heat, penetrant, patience and persistence is the best strategy with seized fasteners. Sometimes I'll use an impact wrench at a low-torque setting to vibrate the fastener in an attempt to break up corrosion first.
Get the manual Gryph recommends. There are a lot of tips in it.
To answer your second question about the engine stand, don't use it. At your skill level, you're better off not going into that engine as deep as it seems you intend right now unless you first take a basic mechanics course at a local vocational school.
Get on the bike, throw some camping gear on it and ride to Virginia City or over to the Sonoran desert, or fill your wallet and ride out to the Mustang Ranch. :yow You live in Reno, for godsake. Take advantage of the climate! If you ride your bike often enough, far enough and hard enough, you'll get an opportunity to work on it, don't worry.
