^^^^wow and you say I was harsh djspiel. I really do hope your engine turns over and runs after you try all those methods, but if it does, you just took many years off its life. On the other hand start looking for a cheap replacement, try the salvage yards, ebay, local shops, wherever. Goodluck.

Yea, what I did was dumb. Just wasn't thinking. If the engine is salvageable, how much longer you think it will last, its at 70k now.

Where do you live? If in the midwest (USA) let me know I may be able to get you a decent $ on a new engine.

Well its hard to tell if it will even work again but If and i say IF it does start again id say that it wont last much longer beings as how you made the motor so hot that it tried to weld it self together and stop running...... id say dont expect more than a few thousand more miles

oh and also when you sieze a motor and get it that hot it scores the cylinder walls, and IF you get it to run again by chance.... it will burn do much oil that you could be hired to fog mosquitoes and then the other thing is that it depends what siezed the cylinders or the bearings, cuz if its the bearings its done no matter what

well at least alot of new parts.... if you seized the pistons in the cylinders you will need to have the block bored out, and get new pistons, rings, bearings and all the other lil things to rebuild a motor.... now if its the bearings you will have to have the crank ground, new bearings, hopefully the pistons arent fucked, and all the other lil parts

Either way its gunna cost you at least $2000 which is just my best guess
