My 7 bolt finally died!

[rich3389]

Hello all,
The end has come to my 7 bolt....
compression is 90, 150, 165, 175 and is also starting to knock at idle, smoke and blow dipsticks out like no tomorrow...
Can I fix it for around 700 dollars? I am not looking to do a 6 bolt swap or nothing like that, just to get my motor or another motor is good running condition again...
Some input?

Did you figure out why the engine seized? Not enough lube? You didn't put it back correctly? What went wrong?

Well, when I took the seized motor apart, it looked like it had about 150k miles on it, and it spun a rod bearing, the two halves were bent in half on top of each other. It always had good oil pressure so I'm just gonna say they sent a POS motor to me the first time.

This is where I ordered it.
