Yea Bucc sounds like a stubborn ring. After boiling that piston in water I would
sure think it would have come off or at least free up. Have you got some kind of a fixture, like take a board and cut a 2inch circle, or size of piston, cut circle in half so you could lay piston inside half circle, being held in position, so piston don’t move, get a small punch, find ends of ring and carefully tap it till it frees up.
I just wonder what that inner edge of piston where ring sets in will be damaged from being froze for so long.
