You can try whatever you like. I had one here that sat for over a year with various things in it, starting with various solvents from a can, then on to tranny fluid, and then brake fluid.
I'm a big beliver in a properly sized block of wood and an 8# sledge. They never say no to that. Just protect the crank journals... or remove the crank first.
I talked to an old guy who landed in my yard the other day. He had freed an "H" with WD40 or some such thing, and he took his time and he worked at it, and he prayed for it. Then he had to put rings in it anyway. So, by th etime he bought the rings and gaskets separately, he would have been close to the cost of a complete engine kit.... That's the deal with my "860", so the pistons got driven out. If you had a more valuable, or less common engine, or one that you couldn't get parts for, then I would take a more delicate approach. However, where the parts are common a dirt, I'd drive them out. That's just my take on it.
