Tram and I have had real good results using SliKroil to un-seize rings. Put a few ounces in, set for a day, turn the engine over, repeat for a week. For mine, after part way, found Kleen so used a mix. No more puff of oil on start up and the piston slap is mostly gone, plus seems like an odd banging noise is getting better since now mostly gone and much quieter (got Kleen in the oil).
Hope this helps.
