Any tips would be appreciated 
!!! Dont do that !
If it still stuck.. good, dont remove it. Mostly a "new" engine is difficult to pull out the engine. Should be easier after completely broken in.
If still hard to do, (if it was my engine) I prefer to let it there.
Just take up the sleeve and spray the piston and crankshaft with CRC(contact cleaner) or Permatex(carb/choke cleaner).
Do not use your kungfu for this part.
