The others are right on the money about how bad it's stuck.
Light sticking resulting from just condensation and sitting, any slick lubricnat like ATF, MMO, Krol, PB . . . can do the trick.
If she's had water down the stack that's a whole different ball of wax.
I haven't broken down a dry sleeve motor like your H, but on my wet-sleeve BN, she had been so full of water that it backed up and split out the exhaust side of the manifold when it froze.
Valves were in position such that 1 and 4 came out easy. 3 took some beatin' from below with an oak dowel to get the piston out. 2 was stuck so hard that the dowel and hammer brought out sleeve and all without ever budging the piston. Had to cut the sleeve away with the angle grinder to get my rod back. All that after six months of soaking in .
If you think yours isn't stuck that bad, the point about gettin the water out is a good one. I've done that by 1)absorbing all the water I could out with rags and sponges, 2) dumping a goodly amount of alcohol into each cylinder and absorbing that out with rags and sponges, then 3) putting less than a goodly amount of alcohol into each cylinder and burning it off, which took the water with it, then 4) soaked it in one of the lubricative concoctions recommended. All this with the head off, of course.
