Kevin,

Phil makes a good point. Do you have a newly rebuilt engine?

Brad's 0200 (Tom Moores airplane) has three or four hundered hours
on it and when Brad shuts down, his prop is hard to turn until it
cools.

Engines also seize for heat related tight fit conditions. Some of

these are

piston diameter to cylinder wall diameter not sufficient, piston

ring gap not

sufficient ( piston ring can grow shut. Further expansion causes

the ring to

bind against the cylinder wall and results in an engine seize),

and plain

bearings can also seize. Some of these can self heal if

temperatures go down,

others cause damage.
