On the other side of the coiin...what we used to do with old cars is to get the durned thing running...use some thin oil instead of thick as you want to get things loosened up and then drain the oil and put in the correct oil and check it again. Often we found the rings were stuck and it just needed running to loosen it up. Another trick was to use a quart of transmission fluid to the oil in the crankcase, which loosened things up...we actually would run it fifty miles or so and it worked back then...maybe it is worth trying now before you dismantle the engine.....
