I believe it (the bind) is at the rings. Why? Because of the short time it took to bind up. I started the engine and it took about fifteen seconds (Maybe only 10) to lock up completely. I don't see any scoring in the cylinders from a broken ring. The crankcase was full of fresh oil. I can't explain it and I'm not sure I can cure it.

NO HEAT, Terry !
Being you had it running, the only way the pistons are stuck, is they don't have enough clearance, and if that is the case, WOW !
So at this point, The motor ran, then slowed down, and stopped, and now stuck. Sounds like smeared bearings!
