Ran this engine with no oil in the gas for about 5 minutes. Yes, I know.
It started to slow down ... and stopped.
Did NOT actually seize,
I am going to fog it several times and run it on double oil for 1/2 hour or so.

Anyone else has success doing something else/additional?

Thanks in advance.

That might get the piston moving in the bore but you cant undo the damage . You should now consider your engine wounded , and hope the big end is ok
You aint the 1st and you wont be the last .
