Default pinch?

I recently had an engine rebuilt and the shop that did it said they had to give it an extra "pinch". Now the engine does not want to turn over all the way very easy. I asked the sho and they said i had to use a heat gun or hair dryer. Is this normal? I am selling the truck and need to know if the engine is still good or what. BTW its a sirio .23.

Thanks

I think it means they drilled out the sleeve adn then squeezed it back down to fit the the piston head. Also if thats what thye did you need to rebreak in the engine. I had it done on my of my trucks through a ebay company. It worked good.

yeah, what they did is squeeze the sleeve to gain compression, like nick said, you need to re-break in the engine.
