I have a feeling this is the cause of my engine seizing but that was running several k before seizing after hg was done, and a day after oil change. wont turn over even with a bar tho its stuck solid

I can't help but wonder why the shell has seized? If there was shit under it then maybe but a loose bolt wouldn't cause the engine to lock, it would more cause it to knock like hell not get tighter. I'm wondering if some foreign body was under the shell. You could get away with just fitting another single set of shells as your others are all ok again far from ideal but it would still run fine as long as you polish the crank up. Check the oil galleries too unless its all going in the bin :p
Possible starved oil or maybe even shells in the wrong way round and its just been run on idle so hasn't done atrocious damage and gently got tight and stalled. This is quite easily salvagable.

There was dirt and grim all over the place, was in the shells on the piston rings, every where. If you looked at the shells in person all you can see it score marks from where the dirt in the oil has marked the shell.

must have done a proper bad job...was surfing youtube this evening, and watched a mitsi engine run at 3500rpm for a good 15mins with no oil, sump, rocker...till it seized.
and I bet XUD tolerances are less than a nice clean petrol jap engine
