You might get lucky and be able to forcibly free the engine but I suggest you take off the oil pan and have a look inside first. If you try to force it and you have a broken ring or cracked piston you might end up bending a rod or even breaking the crankshaft. If everything looks O.K. then I would pull the head and try to move each piston/rod assembly just a little. Spray everything liberally with PB Blaster. It's terrific penetrating oil. Use a piece of 2x4 between the hammer and piston top. Tap lightly at first; many light taps are better than a few heavy ones. This might free up the offending piston. Even if this frees it up, you still have to find that coolant leak before you start it. Was there any water in the pan before you tried to turn it over? Even a leak into the top of a cylinder will cause the coolant to find its way into the pan; rings don't seal perfectly. Don't be disappointed if you have to do a minor rebuild (rings and bearings). In fact it might be a great idea. Good luck! P.S. I had an old Buick with this engine are they great. Hope you can get it going!
