Pistons 2&3 stuck

Was it a folded ring ??

Yep, just the very bottom oil ring on both 2 & 3. I will have to make a ring compressor so I can prevent it from happening again.

Take a feeler gauge and measure the space between the cylinder walls and pistons. First at the top, then in the middle and the bottom. Measure at four points around the pistons. 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, 9:00. Measure your pistons as well,top then bottom. Loose pistons can be noisy and you can bust a skirt. That happened to me 30 years ago. I left a smoke trail a mile long all the way home. Do it right the first time and you won't be disappointed. Doesn't sound like you need to split the cases.
Good luck.

Folded oil ring. No major damage found thus far.

i'm pretty sure you don"t have to worry about any crank damage sir.

just get some new rings and slip it all back together you'll be fine.
