If you really only have two gallons on it the engine should barely be getting broken in. If it is already low on compression something went wrong during break in because any of my engines with 2 gallons on them can't be turned over by hand when the engine is in the car. I do understand you being frustrated but you can't say it's the RB's fault when you bought a used engine added a new piston and sleeve and then had it modified.
