Sherlock:
P.s. managed to grind the head of the bolt but when doing so I had a moment! And thought I'd give it another tap with the cold chisel. Would you believe it, it freed up!

Any thinners for the filter mate
matthewmosse:
Bolts often come free after a bit of grinding, probably the heat, vibration and removed metal releasing that bit of tension that's holding them.
Sherlock:
Thanks for the advice guys. Sorted :-)

Quick update
Oil filter off (looks like the first time as well!!) and oil strainer cleaned. Was a right bitch as the oil filter bolt was solid! Heat, hammer, headache and chisels and finally it came free!
Oil strainer - before...
And after...
Internals look good. Very little if any wear (good 'ol Honda!)
Frame returned back from the blasters
All the rusty bits are being cut off. Haven't decided whether or not to chop off the rear footrest hangers which were going to be used for the rear sets & Exhaust hanger. I think I'll just go with standard pegs and chop them off, one is badly rusted anyway? Rear seat/mudguard mount being chopped off and this will be welded on instead...
Thankfully I have a friend who's a pro welder :-)
Cylinder Head cleaned, soda blasted and painted...
And that's it for now...
Watch this space! :-)
