Default SPE 40cc Problems

Guys

Anyone had experience with the following with this engine:

Turning over by hand a notchy feeling as the piston comes to TDC,
Looking through the spark plug hole and it appears that the piston is hitting the combustion chamber,
Some scoring on the piston on either side of the exhaust port, and
the engine is brand new!

Thanks in advance

Peter

Where did you buy this engine from? Why not send it back to claim for a replacement as it is under warranty.
