Thanks Patrick,
I've already got the broken stud replaced and the engine back together.
I welded a nut on the end of the broken stud put a wrench to it and
backed it right out. I feel very lucky. I stole a replacement stud from
the Ambo I'm building. I'm still going to need
a cylinder bolt (long one) so I can put it back into the Ambo

The oil seal ring is at the top under the rocker carrier. Had this been the top center or bottom center, you would have to remove the cylinder to get at the oil seal ring below the cylinder. Do NOT try to grab this with pliars, etc. Buy a good quality stud wrench and remove it with that. You can double-nut the new one to screw that into place. Good luck.
