Ultimately I have always replaced a stuck ring before I declared
the problem solved.
I don't hold the piston in my hand.

I put it in vise and and broke ring about the third time I
tapped it. cleaned it up put ring off parts motor on it. not a
good thing to do but i wont be able to rest till i hear it run.

I think Al uses Kroil to help him free up rings and heat.

even after i broke ring out that crud was hard to scrape out of
ring grove. got to put it back together before i forget where
all the bolts go. when i was on steam turbine repair crew we
used lots of kroil. i often forget about it on less than 40
pound bolts.

I always used a piece of the broken ring to clean the groove
out.
