I used a lot of PB Blaster (nasty smelling penetrating oil) and a torch.  But my
engine wasn't locked up...

You don't want to remove the head studs unless you absolutely have to.  I had to
remove about 10 of mine due to total rust of the threads (was a salty Minnesota
core).  Regarding the head nuts - I had to drill and chisel about half of
mine off due to the nuts and studs rusting into a single mass.

Regarding the electrolytic removal - I set that up too.  It's largely "line of
site" - won't do you much good for getting rid of rust that's deep inside, like
on the connecting rods or rings inside the engine, for example.

I had great luck with the deep down rust.  The pistons came right out  of the 
jugs after I finished.  I put 10 amps and let it sit  overnight.  I could not 
even budge the thing before that..
