So are the mains and wrist pin bearings.

The rule of thumb for us 4-stroke guys is that if it frees up as it cools down, it's a cylinder seizure. If it freezes up solid as it cools, it's a spun bearing. Since you don't have babbit bearings, this doesn't really apply to you. It is possible to seize a cylinder and lock it up permantently. But from the sounds of it, you're getting some movement? A rod bearing is possible and likely.
