I am one who looks at this from a fun point of view. If it is stuck, pull the head, oil pan and start taking apart.put some WD40, Kroil, any kind of penetrating oil in each piston, then take each rod loose, try to take pistons out. if it stuck, go to the next one, until you cannot get any out or you have all them out that are not stuck, on all the ones I have done, I usually have one stuck, three that come out. Then put more penetrating oil in it and let it sit, be patient, this did not lock up over night, so it is not going to come loose over night, just oil in it,try turning engine over, take a 4x4 trim to fit cylinder, and put in cylinder and hit top real hard maybe once a day, this will help break loose any rust and let penetrating oil start to seap down cylinder to try to disslve rust. If you are not planning on new sleeves and pistons, do not use heat on this as a B has wet sleeves with o-rings to seal it. If new pistons and sleeves are the order, you can attempt to push sleeves and pistons at the same time from the bottom.
