I put it all back together, started it up. No smoke YAY, but it was running like crap, almost like it was on 3 or 4 cylinders. I took it for a drive thinking I would clean it out from sitting.
Engine stalled on me while driving on highway. It just died and of course all the dash lights came on. I opened hood and could hear coolant bubbling. There was no oil puddle underneath it. I had the car towed home. I have not checked yet to see if the engine is seized, but if I was a betting man I would bet on yes.
The only other thing that was weird besides the running weird is that the brake pedal was VERY hard the entire time I was driving it. Whenever I slowed or stopped at intersection it was rock hard.
Anyway the car will sit for a while before I look at it, too many other commitments to worry about.
