Fixing vs replacing engines
I replaced my oil last week, and I missed taking the old o ring off the engine. The net is that I ran the engine without oil, and it seized up. Any suggestions.. is it worth trying to have the enginer rebuilt, or just order a new one? For those who are gonna suggest "New Boat", I am working that angle.. but the Mrs wants a kitchen first.

Not sure I understand why this would cause the engine to seize. Why would this prevent oil flow? I can see it causing it to leak around the filter but engine failure? What am I missing?
