I just acquired a '90 744, auto, 155k that looks ok. But the engine seized when a front seal blew and the previous owner continued to the next exit. What are the steps I should take to further diagnose it?

I'm going to start tearing and disconnecting parts until I get into the front main seal. Then I'm going to remove the top of the engine to see the pistons and such. Are there some specific measurements and things I should take note of? How can I check the condition of the block, how do I find out what work needs to be done?

Thanks,
Nathan
