jerrys,I have found that PB Blaster works the best and fastest by testing it with Marvel Mystery Oil ATF,and Diesel.If its is still really stuck,pull the valve cover and rocker shaft off,if its over head valve.Check the valves and make sure their not stuck.Find a piston that is up in the cylinder and the valves on that cylinder that are closed or are free.get you a fitting or knock the porcellen out of a old spark plug braze a 1/8 female pipe coupling or a old fitting to the plug.screw in a grease fitting to the old plug.Put the plug in the head in that cylinder and take your grease gun and hook it on and start pumping grease in that cylinder.Keep pumping grease in and it will move the crankshaft,the hydrolic pressure will free it up

There used to be some good articles on freeing stuck engines under "Articles" on this web site. I don't know if they are still there. One guy mixed 1-part kerosene, 1-part automatic transmission fluid, and one part Marvel Mystery Oil to soak his engine loose. Check the valves to make sure they are free before you try turning the engine over or else you will bend some push rods. Most people recommend leaving the head on to prevent the sleeves from pushing out when you try turning the engine.

I have filled the cylinders with diesel fuel and let it soak. That should free up the pistons.
