If you haven’t done this yet, take the motor off the stand and lay it flat on cardboard or towel with the spark plugs facing up. Do it inside, out of the weather where it will stay dry. This will allow the oil solution to soak the whole cylinder, piston and rings to help free it up easier. No need to tighten spark plugs with a socket until pistons are freed up and cylinder is drained of oil.
