Two things - if the race won't go on as it should my money is on the fork race being too large and has a taper to it. If it went part way on and stopped it's either cocked and crocked or the fork race is too large and tapered. Try to force it on will not end well.
Secondly - do not use heat. It will make the surface if the fork gummy and give it more friction and you won't be ale to get just the headset race hot without also getting the fork hot. This will also not end well.
Take the race off, measure the fork race (or have someone with the proper tools do it) and if needed cut the race to the proper size. This has a good chance of ending well.
