I've taken apart a lot of abused little engines, but I have never seen a Honda piston look like that before. They must have run it without oil for a long time. It acted like it was seized to start with, then the oil Mitch added allowed it to spin, sans compression of course. Thanks Mitch, good on ya for sticking with it!
