Hey Rody I love your X12 but I am have a problem with it after break in. I followed the instructions to the letter during break in. But now the Piston and sleeve seem to fit too tight. The pistons gets stuck near TDC is this normal?

Yes, this is normal and even in my point of view a good sign. Our X12 engines have indeed a tighter piston/liner fit compared to the other .12 engines, however it is also one of the reasons they are more powerfull and faster.
Normally after some time the fit should become less tight.

i have the same problem today and what i did was just put my hair dryer to it and just heat it up,because the heat will expand the piston and sleeve,give that a try it should work.
