Might have to tear down if oil treatments don't work. Problem seen in more air cooled engines but also in overheated water cooled motors- piston partially melted and smear onto rings, rings stuck into groovs by melted metal. Have to clean grooves and replace rings if available, clean piston if can't replace. If for some reason ( way far away from parts) have seen rings freed by picking out bits and clean with knife blade, then set cylinder back on engines(WA harley rear cylinder and 2-stroke dirt bikes). Iron pistons less trouble than aluminum at this. Hope the oil and rislone works and engine wasn't overheated sometime. RN
