I cam across a freebie 914 engine that is siezed. Apparently, they took the manifold off one of the heads, and let rain get in there and it siezed the engine. At least that is what it looks like. I haven't torn it down yet. Are there any words of wisdom about rebuilding a seized engine?

I will be more trouble than it is worth. Water causes pitting in aluminum in a short period of time. Heads will be boat anchors. You will need a grinder to split jugs. Piston pins will be hard to drive out. Then there is the issue of water in the oil in the crankcase. Cam gear will be corroded to crankshaft and the list goes on.
