Dennis, do you have a compression gage and air compressor? And the engine is stuck, correct? You could unscrew the gage, screw the hose into a spark plug hole one at a time, then plumb it up to blow some compressed air down each cylinder, before you take off the head. BUT take the rockers off FIRST to close all the valves.
If you put a tablespoon of oil in the hole first it will help seal the blowby at the rings, and it will help the stuck rings, too. Put a valve in the hose, so you can control the air. Make SURE the transmission is in neutral in case the engine does break free. It probably won't.
Now, listen to where you here air leaking out. Some should come out through the rings, except a really stuck cylinder. Some might come out the valves if they don't seat well. Listen at the exhaust and then the carb. If you've only got modest leakage, look in the radiator and see it you have bubbles. Might help you narrow down the problem to one cylinder. Best Regards, Charlie
