Yes you should have had it honed at least. Boring to insure roundness was another good idea read here.
I like the Stock type piston, the weisco's are OK (so they say) but need a tender break-in.
Like Gary660R said, get it done right and you'll be fine!

I thought about this some more and I think I see what went on now. I don't think this engine is going to come from the factory with a forged piston. Then you go and slap a forged piston in this thing without checking the bore size. This engine is doomed before you even light it off.
The wiseco pistons I have used are a forged type, medium expansion piston. These things are going to grow a lot more that a stock cast type piston. You must get the clearences right, or you will run into the same problem you have been having.

mahnster that's my point. It locked up before also. Same size piston without the correct clearences, and you got the same results, a seized piston. Measure it up, and follow Wiesco's recomended bore size and you will have no more problems.

It didnt seize before it had a blown base gasket. The rings were stuck to the piston.
