Can I use chem dip as a piston soak poured into my spark plug holes to free stuck rings as long as I drain the oil pan or is it too harmful to my seals, gaskets and o-rings?

Neither Chem-Dip variety (part #0996 nor part #0905) is ideal for a piston soak. Your best bet for that application is using Berryman B-12 Chemtool Total Fuel System Cleaner (part #0116 or part #0101). Please note that it can take up to a pint per cylinder to cover the entire piston, depending on the configuration of the engine (flat 6, V8, etc.).
