Not sure about eating rust, but a 50-50 mix of acetone and atf works great at loosening stuff and is cheap.

Unfortunately, if there's rust/corrosion on the crank, cylinders etc, it's too late. Time for a new motor...

Yup, the rust will score the cylinder walls, bearing journals and everything else. You'll never get compression my friend. Submerged engines need to be torn down immediately after pulling out of the water. Thus we leave snowmobiles in the lake until spring.
