Default Can't Get new Enging to Turn Over

Hello All!

I hava a Revo that I just installed a OS .30 engine in.

I also purchased an RD Racing bump box to handle starting duties.

When I went to start the motor for the 1st time....nothing. It wouldn't even turn over. I tried dropping after run oil in the cylinder, then wd40, and finally heated the block with a heat gun to about 200 degrees and still it will not turn over.

I removed the engine and I can turn it over by hand by turning the flywheel......but it is very stiff.

The Bump box is new.....but according to the store owner has been sitting on display for several years.

The battery is also brand new and fully charged.

Could it be a bad battery or bump box?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
