What kind of insurance covers overheating the engine and seizing it? I'm not even sure an extended warranty would cover that.

To the OP. Look for a used engine and drop it in. I did the same with my 2000 when I spun a bearing. Either way, your head is surely warped at a minimum. There's no telling what else is wrong. How did it overheat enough to seize it?

i would first find out what caused the problem initially. tear down what u have and see what the issue is.

or u could just scrap everything, buy a whole new complete engine, and just hope that u fixed all the issues.

get a used engine from a junkyard cheap and with a warranty , and a second one too and build it up on the side
