Default Seized 59AB Engine - Solutions

I’ve received a crusty 59AB engine that may have sat for 30 years or more. I’m curious what your solutions are to trying to unfreeze it...

My logic is to pour half kerosene half tranny fluid into each spark hole. Then take a counter weight near the prop and see if this fluid helps free up the o rings at the piston and intake exhaust valves. Once the counterweight hits the ground it’s free.
