Time is on your side for freeing up stuck engines. The first thing to do is remove all of the spark plugs and fill each cylinder with Marvel Mystery Oil, ( everyone has a favorite chemical combination on YT ). Next drain the oil and water out of the engine and fill the crankcase with Marvel Mystery Oil. Let the Oil sit in the engine for as long as you can stand it, the longer the better. ( Brake Fluid is also very good for the cylinders and some guys have used Coke )
Once you have let it set, jack up one rear wheel, put it in gear and try to rock the tire back and forth by hand. If it moves a little add a little more oil and wait. One problem with trying to free an engine this way is that you can bend push rods. Same method applies if you take off the cylinder head. Rod bearings could be seized as well so take your time, it's on your side.
Do not try to pull start the stuck motor because you could break all kind of stuff.
