Default Bad New Engine `Need HELP!!

Ok, it may be a bit over the top, but I even used a heat gun on a couple of really tight ABC engines to loosen them up a little before starting them the first time... Just heating the head a little seemed to do the trick, they started just fine by hand after doing that...

Anyone done this too?
.Well this engine needed something more like a flame thrower to loosen it up.
It was tight from Bottom to the top.
Only when I added oil did it syart to loosen up
