Thanks a ton! Sounds like exactly the stuff I need. I figured a good honing may do the trick - but as long as I have everything in a billion pieces, it probably would hurt to do a good valve and ring job on this nearly 20 year old engine!
It was actually a valve spring compressor that someone once lent me working on my old car engine.
I'm in Nashua, don't know where you are - it will probably be at least a month or so before I've returned from vacation, broken the stuck piston free, and am ready to get into that level of detail. We should hook up via. Private Message.
Thanks again!
