Default RE: piston seized on hyper 7

Bottom Dead Center. When you shut off the engine always make sure the piston is at the bottom of it's travel. The sleeve the piston sits in is tapered at the top, making a tight fit. I would suggest getting a heat gun & heating the engine to around 200 degrees , the piston should hopefully move then. Whatever you do don't force it as it could cause damage.
