i might be getting a 64 camper and the engine is seized, what are all the reasons that it would be seized? is there any way to fix it so it could be ran? thanks.

Rusy cylinders, seized valves, oil starvation and seized mains, debris in the cylinder/head, end play too tight........


I could go on for weeks.

Do you know how it siezed? - Was this whilst it was running or from just lying around?
