Re: locking up!?
It definately looks like needle bearings. Unless you want the project, I would do one of the following....Sell it for parts, part it out piece by piece, buy a good used powerhead if the rest of the motor is worth it, or buy another running motor and save this one for parts. I don't think its worth the time to completely rebuild. New needle bearings, new rings, new gaskets, bored pistons, maybe a rod. Who knows how bad the cranshaft is scored. On top of all of that is, taking the time to learn how to, then rebuilding the engine.
