As with anything, you're going to have to calculate that risk. At best, a seizure could simply result in £130 worth of dead piston and rings, and a coast to the edge of the track, but at worst it could destroy an £1100 crank, render the barrel (and head) unrepairable, and put you in hospital!

Here's the best way I can put it... We're happy to sell you piston and rings, if you want to try it, but don't ask us to build it!
