[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 558988, member: 52914"] There are ways to unseize engines, but unless you know what your doing, you can do a lot more harm then good. Removing compression (removing spark plugs or the head) and using oil on the top side of the piston and letting it set over night then turning the crank with a socket usually works. But if you can get Ford to pay for a new motor, then go for it, chances are that if it seized from oil starvation that the motor would need to be rebuilt anyhow to check/replace for scoring and bad bearings.
