Best way is whatever it takes to free it up. If it was mine I'd dump diesel fuel down each spark plug hole until each cylinder was full. Wait a week and try it both ways with a long bar. Wait another week and try it with a long bar........and on and on.....

Long bar does not mean "force it"!

50/50 mix ATF and acetone.

Shake well. Can be kept for a while, but not indefinitely.

I used a plastic squirt bottle; it lasted months
