When you get the head off, light a fire on top of the piston. It will heat it and the rings and the expansion will free them from the (being frozen to)bore.
A small bit of rag and diesel is all you need. It will burn slowly with a yellow sooty flame.Let it burn for quite a while. Probably you will put the diesel in the hole, light he rag, then drop it in.
When the fire it out, add some oil before trying to turn it over.
