I have used and seen it used many times and it works great. That is rifle bore cleaner from the army surplus store. It is a known fact in our area on what it can do for old engines and parts. There are many of us in this area in the hobby and we all have a few cans in our shops.
As for the engine being stuck it is probably only two of the cylinders that is most likely rusted more than the others. It depends on which one(s) had their exhaust valves cracked open and let rain in, (the same may go for the the intake valves). Depends on what kind of intake manifold it has if it let water in or not. I have pulled the heads off of many stuck engines after trying to break them free. On a 6 cylinder engine I just recently tore apart had only two rusted cylinders, four of the pistons came right out and the other two I had to use force. I have filled stuck cylinders with rifle bore cleaner then put air pressure to the cylinder by screwing a home made air fitting into the spark plug hole. This forced the oil around the piston and expanding the cylinder wall slightly to help break it loose.
