Motor Blew Up...

So I decided to have my friend drive next to me and I obviously didn't put enough miles on the engine to go wide open. As soon as I hit 60 the engine made a popping noise and now the kick start won't even rotate the crank. I'm guessing that the piston melted to the cylinder walls. If that's the case is it going to be a pain in the * to remove the head from the bottom portion of the motor?

wow that sucks. head should be easy to remove its piston to cyl thats gonna suck.

what you should have done is kicked it extremely hard to get the piston to break free, when it was still warm. I had a soft seize back when I had my triton and did 70cc and it worked, just try kicking as hard as you can now, you really need to get the piston free.

Spray some pb blaster down the plughole and try to crank it over with a ratchet on the crank the next day. Its saved my * more than once.
