Remove the 4x long bolts if not done already , you can’t get any rust in there UNLESS engine was consuming water somehow ? or recovered the bike from a flood damage or something , if it was really badly rust, the 4x long bolts would have snapped trying to undo them inside the engine.

So try a strong piece of a flat head, and pry it upward.

We could possibly have 2 Collar Spacers under the cylinder heads being stuck to the barrel and the crank casing , they look like this:

They go through the long bolts actually.
