no the engine did'nt seize, i dint run it more than 5 min.
i added about 7 quarts of oil.
this is a fresh motor
i had the block sent out and bored/ honed 2nd over.
crank was untouched. replaced all crank bearings and
connecting rod bearings. plastigauge an all.
i just removed the sub oil pan for inspection. i checked the
pressure release valve and cleaned it- it looked fine.
before taking engine out the oil pressure was normal,
this car has 119k miles and had major blowby, i found cracked rings. im going to try the oil filter housing before pulling the engine again

thanx
