Default RX330 Engine seize??

Hello, My 2004 RX engine seized and I finally found out it was the plastic manifold that cracked, letting water into top of engine, seizing the pistons. If your engine has stopped, will not turn over at all, this may be the problem. The water can be sucked out of the engine, manifold replaced and an excellent mechanic can get your baby going again!! Delicate, but possible.Enjoy every day of driving the coolest car made !! Kathy
