A new Big 7

Have you actually got the engine apart yet, if the claimed mileage is genuine I would suspect the rings stuck from lack of use more than the engine being worn out. I guess the biggest issue will be how it has been stored, in my experience engines that have not been used for many years often have a fair bit of internal rust, the worst possible thing you can do is start the thing up. I would always recommend an internal inspection prior to trying anything else, head and sump off at the very minimum.
