One way to free up stuck rings is to put a few Oz., of Marvel Mystery Oil into each cylinder through the plug holes. Let it sit a few days, then turn the motor over with plugs out to blow out any extra oil. Also put the Marvel into the crank case, maybe a quart in with the regular oil. I would first do a compression test before anything, write down your readings. After doing the Mystery Oil take another compression test to see if any readings changed.
