Do some exploring first! A engine that is stuck should never be forsed to turn over you will just damage something. Remove the head take a look first. Pull the pan if you have to and unbolt the piston rod from the crank till you find the stuck one or ones. If it is rusted to the wall you will have to carfully remove the piston and check the wall for damage and probly re/bore it or if you are luckey just hone it. By dragging a stuck piston in the cylinder I bet you will ruin the bore in it or mayby bust a rod and mess up the crank too or worst. You can't run a frozen engine untill you make the walls smooth again and just turning it over will not do that it only causes more damage belive me it will not fix it self. Mark H.
