Default RE: Sticky piston ring on Super Tigre

Don't worry. It is probably just dried castor stuck in the ring groove. Soak the engine like he said in anti freeze in a crock pot (be careful) or just soak it in low nitro fuel for a day or two. At best ringed pistons have little cyclinder seal until under pressure of combustion anyway.
