My theory - - - if a person neglected an engine in some way that the engine froze up, it doesn't really do a whole lot of good to free it up for them so they can do some more neglecting and let it seize up again.
If they free it up themself, they may learn something (not to let that happen again). Or if they sell it as is, they might learn something from the price depreciated by froze engine. But if a friend comes along and saves the day (frees up the engine), they seem to not learn much from it, and likely won't change thier ways (neglect).
Just something to think about, before you fully involve yourself in this. I'm not trying to sound like a hard a$$ here, but I won't go through the grief of freeing a froze engine for somebody else. Especially if the somebody is responsible for it getting locked up.
Sounds like you are on the right track otherwise. A froze engine is just a lot of grief to get un-locked. A grief that doesn't pay out very well. Alot of trouble to get back to where it was (free) before it froze up.

Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
