If you got water in the engine through the exhaust system, and it is only in the cylinders, it will not affect the crank or bearings. If it was coolant, going into the crankcase, it would affect those bearings, but not likely to seize the pistons in the cylinders. You can use things like turpentine, PB Blaster, diesel fuel, other penetrating products, but a well-seized engine usually needs a hydraulic jack to push the pistons, or use a sleeve puller and take the sleeve/piston to a shop to have the piston pushed out. If the s/p is worn beyond specs, replace the entire unit. Otherwise, just rings and 0-rings are ok. You don't know that until you get the parts out. NAPA does have machine shop service available, but also check other sources- neighbors, etc. for where they get work done. Locally, turning a crank for undersize bearings is 100, OH gasket set 140, plane head and grind valves 100, main bearings for AC WD- 150, rod bearings 75, new s/p about 100 per hole. Oil pump, water pump, clutch, throwout brg, valves, camshaft, etc.- just adds more $.
