Are the rings back in propperly ?? Is the crank shaft to its lowest point? is the rods getting caught in the journal or hitting the crank shaft ??
here are the steps to reinsert the pistons
turn the rings 180 degrees with the openings on the ends where the wrist pins are located on the piston
lubricate the pistons really good with oil, make sure oil gets around the rings and on the sides of the pistons
lubricate the cylinder walls with lots of oil as well
Install piston ring compressor and tighten to pull rings back into piston.
Install the connecting rod bearings and lubricate.
Rotate the crankshaft to the lowest part of it's stroke (you might need to do this for each piston your inserting) This will allow you to put on the connecting rods caps and tighten the bolts/or nuts.
Insert piston into the cylinder that the crank shaft is at its lowest in
Using the handle of a hammer, tap and push the piston downward towards the crankshaft. Using the other hand to guide the connecting rod around the journal of the crankshaft
Install the connecting rod caps and torque to specification and you are done!
