BigGrin Hi Padidiver

If your engine is sticking at TDC or Top Dead Centre then this is perfectly normal and it will free up during the run in period, If it is sticking at BDC or Bottom Dead Centre then you have either got the cylinder or piston the wrong way around and its a simple case of just reversing the parts. I have added some links to other posts that have had the same problem.
