Any luck the removing the offending cylinder/piston? If the engine is on a stand, I would suggest rotating so the cylinder is on top and then soaking from above with pb blaster. Use a brush to clear any debris from the two of piston/cylinder to let the PB work. If you're in no rush, let it set as long as needed. I prefer to use wood blocks for driving softer metal. I've seen frozen engines clean up surprisingly well once freed and honed. There's an outside chance you'll get lucky still.
