I've never unstuck an engine, but I had a brain wave the other night thinking one might try pumping hot water thru the block. Disconnect the radiator hoses. Block the bottom hose connection on the engine, maybe leave a small hole for water to drain. Pump or pour a good deal of hot water from the top goose neck, thru the motor and out the bottom. Pump or pour til the block is good and hot. Hotter the better. Let it cool and do it again. May require a lot of hot water, eh,or some way to recirculate and heat the water.
Heat and cool several times, Any way, the thought is the thermal expansion and contraction
on the cylinder liners would assist if freeing the motor. Of course you want to do this along with the use of your favorite type of liquid wrench or lubricant. Any body think this could help.
Anybody ever try it. Comment or criticism welcome. No hard feelings here.
