Motor mount and water pipe woes....

[scourge at cogeco.ca (Scourge)]

For the Motor Mount bolt.
It's a little tricky, but you can get a sawzall blade in there and cut the 
bolt. You need to get the blade in the groove between the to parts of the 
mount on both sides(bolt head side, and caged nut side). Only catch with 
that method is that you need to replace the caged nut afterwards.(Don't for 
get to support the engine while doing this!!!
Kind of hard to describe... hope ya know what I mean.
