my advice would be to get half a dozen stuck auto engines from the junkyard to practice on. The first engine I unstuck was a 1947 Fraiser, No, I never did get it running but I did get it unstuck. Later I dissasembled a Star engine. I still regret that one but when you are a young kid you do stupid things. I would say you have the 10-20 tore apart far enough. Sometimes it works to unhook some of the rod caps. just depends which cylinders are stuck and if you can even get at the bolts. I did even cut a rod off with a torch once but it was already bent so nothing was lost. I use an iron bar and a sledge hammer and work around the outside edge of the piston. When the oil sprays back on your glasses it is coming unstuck. clean the rust off the best you first. Some guys use a block of wood but I never had much luck. I say if you can get them loose with wood they ain't "stuck"
