You can also put the car in gear and rock back and forth, top gear works
best. If the clutch works, roll it to walking speed in 4th and then let the
clutch up quickly, like a push start. Just be ready for a sudden stop.

Diesel oil, or Kroil. Then let it sit for a few weeks. Using a block of
wood you might try introducing some vibrations into the block by the
cylinders. I doubt heat would be possible, since there is a water jacket
in that area.
When you try to turn the dampener bolt, try going both directions. Even
a little movement will help.
Good luck.
Peace,
Pat
