OK, over a year later since you did this, What would be your method of loosening up a rusted engine again if you had to????

If i had to free up something, i remember an article in an issue of old skool rodz, on stuck nuts and bolts, they used a "wonder slime" of 50/50 ATF and acetone, i havent tried it, but if anybody does, tell me how well it works.
