Before doing what you have suggested: i.e. the big towing chain, you had better read the previous posts on what or how to do it to get an engine un-stuck! By doing what you suggest-you might/ probably will do a lot of damage to an engine that might be salvageable!! Try some automatic transmission oil in each cylinder, and some penetrating oil, or some of the other ways the fellows have posted here! Be patient--going at it the wrong way will surely mess up an engine and the parts! Patience is the blessing here. By the way you describe it, it may have 2 pistons with broken rings, they may have come apart, may be blown out, scored walls, anything is possible! Ask and you shall receive, they say! And, hold the hydraulic jack!! Any quick, hard things you do now may ruin what could be saved with some patience! Remember steel junk doesn't make you rich, unless you own the scrap yard! Rustyj
