Face the facts, on many stuck engines that have been sitting exposed to the weather for 30 or 40 years there is so much rusting and pitting that the pistons are bonded to the cylinder walls so tight that nothing you pour into her will make the pistons movable, especially forward. You will save time and effort to remove the head then disconnect both rods at the crankshaft. Then unbolt the block and hope that someone in the past has removed the 4 studs that hold the block to the frame and remove the block with the pistons and rods intact. Next is where the real fun comes in. Get an oak or hardwood fencepost or block and a heavy sledge hammer and pound the pistons out the rear of the block. If they won't come that way they will have to be pressed out by a very large press. Hope that nobody put in aluminum pistons, because when they corrode in there they just about wont come out in one piece sometimes. It can be done with some work, but all these penetrants sometimes are no better than peeing in it if they are stuck with rust and dirt ahead of the piston.
