Hey guys,
My new 169 has a stuck engine, it had plenty of oil in it, drained it out, no shavings or metal chunks, pulled the head, piston is down about an inch, cylinder looks good, no scoring, intake valve is all the way up and not stuck, exhaust valve is closed, tried turning the engine over with no luck, it's tight! Could the piston really be holding it this tight? If it isn't broken inside I'm thinking pull the rod cap and inspect everything and move rod out of the way and hit the piston down? I'll be pulling it out soon, thanks for any suggestions.
