Of course there is always the option of pulling the motor, removing the crank, and then use a BIG press to remove the pistons and sleeves as a unit. You can then break the sleeve and peel it away from the piston so you can remove the piston pin and salvage the connecting rods. New sleeves, pistons and a few other things and you've got a brand new motor.
My grandpa will pull the crank (on flathead Fords, but the concept is the same) and then take blocks of oak and metal bars and use the bars pushing on the oak pushing on the pistons as a press. He will use penetrating oil of some sort in the process. He doesn't talk much and this is about all I know.
Edit - This is a long term thing. Like do this and then wait a few days or weeks and they will pop loose from the oil and constat pressure. Same concept as parking a tractor on a slight incline in fifth gear.
BTW, if I wasn't going to work on this project right now there is nothing to lose by pouring some diesel down the exhaust. Might as well start the process of breaking things free. ATF/Acetone or brake fluid are probably just as good, but not quite as cheap as diesel. There are probably a million other things that work, too.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
