Thanks!
i dont have anything on hand to burns that hot. i tried with a propane burner thing and yea didnt get hot enough and this was just so i could move the car move the car around, it hasnt moved a full mile in like a month, still gotta pull the motor because of the trans rattling.

check your local car parts shops. many rent tools, they might also have a terminal crimper.
