When something is in immense ammount of heat it expands but when it cools down that rapidly it shrinks, I think that happened to you so what you need to do is apply heat then bang down the piston, this will require complete teardown of the engine, also when you apply the heat make sure you dont burn it because the metal will become softer and easier to mess up.
I would never bang a piston down 1:1 or nitro, and even with the experience you claim, i would never bring anything of mine for you to work on. LMAO
