I few years back I bought a 10-20 that sat outside for many many years (estimated as many as 30-40 years). Stuck bad but in only 2 of the cyls. I tried a few things that didn't work like soaking and others and finally pulled the head off. I was glad I did! If I would have gotten the crank to turn, I would have destroyed the valve train as all valves were stuck tight as drums. heating with a torch, took 3 hours to get them out. as for the pistons, I took a small 1x2 block of ash wood and taper cut one end and gently tapped the piston edges on the left and right side (not above the wrist pins)until the piston started rocking, put just a little kero on the piston top and kept doing it and cleaning out the crud the kero brought up,until it turned. Took just a few hours! Those cyls had been wet for so long you couldn't tell where piston stopped and sleeve began, totally sealed up with rust. Some how I managed to save the sleaves and pistons!
