At first I thought that it was that the pistons were too tight. I replaced the .040 pistons with .030 pistons. It runs but still "freezes up" after running for a while.
I would take it back to the rebuilder but he is no longer in business. I wonder why?!
Short of having the engine rebored (cylinders and main) are there any suggestions on how to get this engine useable?
Thanks.

Depends on what is causing it to bind.The best solution to your issue is to disassemble your engine completely,then re assemble insuring everything is in spec. There are many possible causes,the only way to know for sure is to 'put your finger' on the problem,anything else is speculation.The only way to effectively repair an issue is to find the root cause.
