It took some doing but we did get it going and it ran fine...that is until we turned it off. When that happened we couldn't get it restarted until it almost totally cooled down.

I've seen this happen a few times, it was caused by the rings end gap being too small. Rebuilder said "you don't need to check the gap on new rings, they're factory set".
THAT'S NOT TRUE, EVERY ring has to be checked in it's individual cylinder.

My druthers would be to NOT run undersize pistons but to disassemble and hone the block to the proper piston fit... then reassemble with new rings.
