The way I look at it is that it's all in there anyway, so any of it that you can remove, the better off you are.
I hone what's there before freeing it up, that way most of it is dry enough to vac right up - then soak it, knock it free, then hone any areas that get exposed after moving it. Usually what's below the pistons isn't as bad.
And when I say hone, I'm not talking anything heavy, just enough to remove the stuff that sticks out. You don't want to try to undo any deep pitting, you'd have to take too much material off. The walls usually remain discolored.
get most of remaining junk with kerosene soaked rags. Oil it all when done.
I suspect the problem of corrosion is very different in different areas of the country. In the northeast, we have a lot of wild temperature changes, lots of condensation and moisture getting into everything. I've seen cylinders that have sat for less than two years that you'd swear were sitting for 20.
I know the soak and go method would work on them, but when they're that bad, there's no way you're not taking years off the life of the rings.
