Showering the engine in WD40/penetrating oil won’t do much, except create a big fire hazard when you eventually have to resort to the torch.
I would look for a fresh water engine to get started with. You might also find a salt water carcass that is beyond repair, you can practice heating on the carcass, who cares if you break the bolts.

That’s an excellent suggestion. Just don’t get so mad and frustrated at it that you give up altogether. On the flip side, you may get so mad and frustrated that a nice clean fresh water motor will be a joy to work on. I even considered going up North to get a truckload of them a couple of times.
