Don't know how much good socking them in two different kinds of stuff did. Waited 2 days on each. Probably was impatient but used a 4X4 short block and a BFH. Removed the crankshaft and got them out. Actually the sleeves cleaned up darn good. Am going to need 3 pistons and found 4 good used ones locally. Thanks Royce for the offer.

The trick to unlocking a frozen up engine is time and more time. If it had, had water in the cylinders most things will never work unless you can get all the water out before you soak them. Another thing that works at times is after one has soaked a while add a tablespoon of gas to each cylinder and light it up and do so till most if not all is burned out then try to move the pistons. That heat up the block but the pistons stay cool and some time is enough to free it up. BTDT many many many times and have done over 20 locked up engines and few ever had the head off to do so

congrats
always a great feeling when you see the tiniest movement of a badly stuck engine.
seeing it and taking a break walking around with your hands raised in triumph is ok too.
