Oh and welcome to the forum.

Thank you!

i'd be spraying a couple squirts of penetrating oil thru the spark plug hole down the cylinder walls because it sounds like the piston rings were rusted to the cylinder. Running that without some lubrication will only tear up the rings.

I'll do that. Thank you.

If you try putting oil in the cylinder do it very sparingly. Now that it is free really don’t need to, as the engine oil will start doing its job. To much oil at this point will not allow the plug to fire.

OK thank you.

Because you were able to free it up using a block of wood and hammer, I suspect that the rings are fine and that the rod was probably frozen on the crankshaft. If you get it running I suggest you change the oil after 2 hours use to remove any debris in the oil. No need to put any oil in the cylinder, just my opinion.
