So after talking to a mechanic, it would seem a valve stuck, a rocker arm fell off, and a piston may have been destroyed in the process and potentially some other fun internal problems that caused the engine to seize. They couldn't even start it manually. Tonight when I get off work I am going to start working on it. We had it towed home and I have cleared a spot in the garage right in front off the work bench. I have never rebuilt and engine before. Any advice before I get started? I plan on checking to see if it it even fixable before starting (i.e. checking bore hole thickness). Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. I don't have the money for a re-manufactured or used engine at the moment so it is worth it to me to try and rebuild it.
