Helped a friend run in a Shimo 3. Put 1.5ltrs of 25% (12% oil) thorough it . Opened the engine afterwards and the piston was scratched.

It's now hard to start and idle tune changes wildly as the temp comes up (we preheat the engine).

Then I heard that a friend has 3 2106 engines with scratched pistons.
