The good news is that it moved! If you get yourself a 'real' breaker bar, you should be able to apply more force and - hopefully - get it freed up.
Or, I suppose you could try the starter again now.

Keep adding atf! you need the detergents to free up those apex seals.

you broke a CRAFTSMANS ratchet?? I'm assuming you're using at least a 3/8 ratchet. That takes quite a bit of force or some leverage. Hope you didn't break anything in the motor.
did you try to turn it in the reverse direction? get a spray bottle and shoot MMO in there and let it sit for a few hours. Then try to turn it in both directions.

Passing life by
Back and forth back and forth that is the key. Go one way till it stops then back it up till it stops and repeat. You may only have MMO on one side of the rotor faces. Have you put it down each intake port and spark plug holes? Try and dispers it. Rotote 90o then add MMO in the intake ports, repeat.
