Fill all the cylinders with tranny fluid and let it sit a few days. Then put about a table spoon of gas in the cylinders with the tranny fluid. Lite that up carefully and let it burn out. Then give it a try. What that does is heats up the block and also gets the fluid down around the rings etc. Be sure to do it out side and be very careful

If it isnt too bad , try pouring brake fluid in the cylinders and let sit a few days, then with a wood block moderately hit the pistons. may work may not,worth a try.

Hi Rick,
There is a product called CLR that is a rust and scale remover that you may find on your supermarket shelves depending on what part of the world you come from. This stuff literally eats rust and it has worked wonders on my engines. Be prepared to have to spend some time on the job though, the occasional thump with a wooden block to let the CLR penetrate beside the piston helps along. If you can't find CLR Coca Cola is a good substitute (yes the stuff you drink) but it takes a little longer. It is the peptic acid and the sugar in Coke that does the job. Don't use diet Coke. More often than not you need to try more than one method before they let go. I prefer to use the CLR or Coke first because it is water soluble and tends to get into the rust a little easier. Once you have oil in the cylinders it tends to block water soluble solutions and it makes things slower. I had an E27N that sat for 15 years with the cylinders full to the top with water, it took a month and a half to unstick but it did let go in the end. Good Luck.

Frank.
