Chuck the motor into a drum of water and let it soak for 4 to 6 weeks, then take it out the water and use a suitable piece of wood as a drift and tap the pistons up and down the bores. If they still wont come out, soak another week or two. I have stripped many motors and gearboxes this way.
water caused the rust and water will penetrate and dissolve it better than any penetrating oils,
believe me it works.
