Sthil 028 super locked up! Since I got to rebuild should I replace with larger piston top end?

I was running my steel saw the other day and something happened to the chain, causing it to freeze up and I stayed on the gas a little longer than I probably should have and I didn't think nothing really happened to it cut it off grab my dolmar 116 and kept cutting the oak up. Next day I get up try to crank my steel and it won't turn over try to pull on the pull cord and nothing happens damn near broke to broke so apparently it's locked up if I'm going to have to rebuild this thing I want to just go ahead and put a bigger piston or you know soup it up. I need some wiser opinions on this or better insight to replacing the size top end from factory or beef this sthil taco on up??!?!??
