engine rebuilds can be costly more than a fiesta mk4 may be worth!
you may be better going to you local scrap yard/breakers and buying a used engine. some yards may even remove yours and replace it with a good one for a minimal cost.
They will keep your alternator, Power Steering pump etc, just replace the main block.
Either way its going to cost possibly more than the cars worth!

No engine oil what would happen?
Seized engine. Thousands of dollars to install rebuilt engine. Bad news.
How do you unfreeze a frozen engine?
If you mean frozen as in seized, the engine will need to be rebuilt, as parts have welded themselves together and there is most likely some serious damage to the pistons and cylinder bores.
What could cause a 1997 Stratus with a 2.4L to overheat then go dead and not crank again?
Your water pump may have seized up which in turn snapped your timing belt. Get that checked out before you get your engine rebuilt. That is what happened to mine. _______________________________________________________________________ == == The clue is the over heating condition...........the engine is SEIZED, meaning it is stuck and needs to be rebuilt by a engine shop. If the engine cannot be turned over by hand, it is seized. Put the trans in neutral, and use your hands to try to turn the engine by pushing on the pulleys or by pulling on the belts. If it won't turn, it is cooked. When an engine is super heated, metal parts expand and get bigger, so that things that normally have clearance, now are hitting each other. Have it checked by a professional mechanic, to be sure about this.
Can you give me seized in a sentence?
The engine has seized up! Pirates have seized the port!
Would a 2001 Ford Expedition run without a oil filter?
Without an oil filter in place the engine oil would just be pumped out of the engine , so the engine would run until the engine seized
What are signs of a seized engine?
a seized engine will not turn over. Even using a socket and ratchet on the crank bolt, the engine is not going to move. It is frozen, or seized up.
How can you fix a seized 1999 5.7 engine plugs pulled full of gas?
If you've pulled the plugs and the cylinders are full of gas, the motor is seized, won't turn at all (have you put a socket & bar on the crank?) then replace the motor with a used/rebuilt one would be the easiest.
Can you use transmission fluid to unfreeze a car motor that seized up due to loss of motor oil?
No, not really. Transmission fluid is basically just oil. An engine that has seized up that way has suffered serious damage to the pistons and cylinder walls, they've basically become welded together. The engine would have to be rebuilt whether you to it loose or not.
Had engine oil changed and drove a mile and engine stoped found no oil in engine is this a sign of permanent damage?
Of course there will be permanent damage its just a matter of how much. If the engine stopped it may be that the engine has seized. If that's the case you are going to have to get a new/rebuilt engine and if you went somewhere to have your oil changed and they did this you should go and have them pay for it.
Will a seized engine crank at all?
No. If it did crank over it wouldn't be seized.
How do you check if engine is seized?
When an engine is seized up, it will not turn over. The crank cannot make a rotation. Take hold of the main pulley and try to turn it. When you cannot turn the engine over, it is seized.
What would be wrong with a car if you drive without oil and the car dies while smoking from under the hood?
If you drive your car without oil and it dies, your engine has seized. Time to replace the engine or the vehicle.
