Welcome!! I've got yellow-ish wheels too. ;-)

so, a tip on the header-bolts; don;t start them with an impact, use your ratchet or breaker bar. Plenty of penetrating oil. Obviously. but, if you've got some which are stubborn, turn them out a thread at a time, allowing them to cool and hosing them with penetrating oil between each thread. The LAST thing you want is a broken one in the head.
Hopefully they'll be fine. I had one motor where they came out easy-peasy, and another where they were all stubborn, and after the first one broke-off, I became much more patient, hehe.
