If you can make a plate out of 1/2 inch X6 flat steel, use the head gasket to mark and drill holes for the head bolts. Drill and tap a hole in the center of the cylinder for a 1/4 NPT thread and screw in an air hose fitting. Put 2 to 3 ounces of your best solvent mixture on top of each piston. Make a thick paper gasket or use the old head gasket and bolt the plate on top of the engine block with 1.5 inch long bolts of appropriate diameter and thread. Connect each cylinder to an air hose with a regulator and slowly raise the pressure to 50 psi and let set overnight. If the piston has not moved, increase the pressure in 10 psi increments up to 100 psi letting the pressure sit for a few hours with each increment of pressure. The first overnight with solvent will force the solvent around the piston and rings. Not necessary to add solvent for additional pressure increases. This will be the least destructive force on the piston and cylinder. If the piston does not move when you reach 100 psi, turn the crankshaft side up and see if the liner, piston and rod can be driven out with a wooden block. At that point, you are in for a new set of sleeves and pistons. Good luck; keep us posted.
