Hi all, my works van which is   2.5 diesel Citroen Relay engine has seized due to lack of oil. ( yes I know I am an idiot for allowing this )
Replacing the engine is not financially viable, so my train of thought is hopefully the problem is the crank shaft so for the cost of new shells and cleaning up the journals it might be worth a go. so any advice or opinions would be greatfully appreciated especially from anyone that has had experience working on this particular engine.

TIA

Wouldnt recommend it,crank will need regrind,new shells to suit both big and little ends,plus there maybe other factors like cylinder bore damage,piston ring damage etc,new engine really
