Frozen engine
Little help here...
Recently purchased an RX7 with a frozen motor.
Here's what I've done so far to unstick it.
Sprayed penetrant/lubricant into spark plug holes, poured atf down carb. Rolled car several time then popped the clutch in 4th gear, then used breaker bar to turn it over. After 1 week of this it finally broke free, hooked up starter and turned it over where upon it stuck again, back to the breaker bar, 1/2 inch turns.
Any suggestions? No rust in engine or radiator, car just sat in storage for 11 years.
Car is a 1982 with a 12A. Showing no rust anywhere on/in the engine.

12a, had it freely turning there for a bit then foolishly hooked up the starter and cranked it over, it only turned over a little bit then became stuck again. Back to breaker bar turns.
