I used GT85 as it's a proper penetrating oil apparently. Almost a full can emptied over the piston crowns so it was swimming in the stuff. I'd hoped after a few days it may have bled down a bit but nope...just still sat there! I'll give Coke a go, if it doesn't work at least I'll have something to drink. 
Water sounds odd, but if it works it works. Shame these didn't just unbolt, there was about half a litre of water on top of each piston when I stripped the head off!
The pistons are in a way sacrificial, as I'm getting some +60 thou higher compression ones for the rebuild so if I need to get medieval on them as a last resort I will.
