The simple answer is: Yes. It can free up the engine and I'm sure it wont cause any harm. I've used this method several times in the past and recommend trying WD-40 first. But really any penetrating oil will work just fine. Heck, I've even been successful with used motor oil! But I do not recommend using that because there are fine particulate in it that may cause damage.
