2. YOU CAN'T BEAT HEAT

[myRC]

If your engine is hard to start because the piston is super tight at top dead center, reach for a heat gun. This handy heater-upper may look like a hair dryer, but it's far more powerful. Aim it at your engine until the case is good and warm, and you should be able to fire it up much more easily because the internal parts will have warmed up to a temperature that's closer to their operating-temperature specs.
