Likely, there is no short fix for the stuck ring. Something is holding that ring locked to the piston. I would drop the pan, remove the head and that piston to locate what is causing the problem. Look for signs of scoring on the #3 piston. A bit of metal could have worked its way between the ring and the piston.
Good Luck!
