Kelly, From what I can see in the pictures, The piston bores look good. I agree with Hugh, that the water had not been in there very long. I use one of those butterfly type flaps (like the ones found on many highlift exhausts) on top of my exhaust to keep rain water out. The way I would free up the stuck cylinder is that I would put some kerosene into that cylinder and let it sit over night to soak in. Then I would use a large pair of vise grips or monkey wrench and grab on the front of the belt pulley and work it back and forth. If it still sticks after trying to work the crankshaft back and forth, Put more kerosene on, Then take a raw hide mallet and a thick piece of wood, tap on top of the piston to help try to get some movement. Also when it comes to intake and exhaust valves, a poor mans trick that I have used over the years to help seat the valves (if the valves are in good shape) is to lightly tap on them with a small ball peen hammer. You have to leave the valves seated while doing this and also rotate them on their seat by hand while doing this. Also you must only tap them in the very middle and should not be hitting them so hard as to leave any dimples from the hammer. I alway use this method even after doing a hand lapping of the valves and seats to help speed up wear in seating of the valves. Thanks, Ray in Pa.
