    Siezed 7.3!

    Hi, i recently bought an 7.3l powerstroke out of a truck, the engine is siezed, there was coolant in the oil, i removed the valve covers, to fing one cylinder had the rocker arm popped off and the valve spring was popped off as well, broken and bent rocker arm bolts and the injector tip broke off in the engine, all in the same cylinder.. i tried rotating the engine by hand, moves about an in and dead stop. i think there is a broken connecting rod wedged in there? what happened? Thanks!

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
