how can you not remove the head? I mean, you are going to be working against ALL CYLINDERS when you are prying and what not.

Say you do unbolt a connecting rod from main, and manage to move the piston an inch or two, all you did was wedge it a few inches in a different direction. Good luck pulling the crank and rod back together, ha ha.

I have freed up an H and an M before.

My advice. Unbolt all the connecting rods.
Remove the head.
Lay on your back and pound the pistons out the top of the engine.
One cylinder at a time. If it's stuck, the rings are probably ruined enough to require replacement anyways.

Been there done that, just some heavy lifting and pounding. Oh yeah, and I soak the cylinders with liquid wrench for a few days before pounding them out.

This method never fails to free a stuck engine. :)

And yes, I even put a bottle jack under a stuck piston to push it up and out, and you know what? the entire M came off the ground!!!

mhmm. eventually used a sledge, and installed a sleeve kit.
