I agree with most of what has been posted so far. I would take the plugs out, and put some of your favorite "snake oil" into each cylinder (ie. blaster, Kroil, marvel mystery oil, ATF, kerosense, diesel, and on, and on) and let it sit for 1-2 days. Crank it over a bit after the 2 days, and then put the plugs in. Fire it up, and run it getting it up to temp, and keep running it. I think you will find that the rings free up, and you may not have as much "wrong" as you think you do.
Key here is to get it up to temp, and then work it if you can. Rings can stick on engines that sit that are not stuck.
As always IMHO.
