rusted motor inside out??????

i blew a seal on my motor a long *** time ago an jus never had time or money to buy a jspec. my frend gave me his motor, that he says has been sitting out for like a year, he says its good tho. it has no manifolds, no injector rails, but he says it had good compression. what can i do to make this motor usable again? i was thinking of just putting MMO every where inside the engine, and let her sit. ne suggestions?

Although late, It would have been Ideal If your friend had put Fogging Oil In the Motor, awhile It was down.
Does the Main Crank Shaft spin freely?

How about when the Spark Plugs are removed? Does It help some more? Is It totally seized?

Don't put Fuel In there. Pour MMO Into both the FI openings (as you said) and In the SP Holes and see what happens after leaving It overnight.

does it feel like it could turn or does it feel rock solid siezed? turning over an engine isnt nessesarily easy, so you may have to apply a some force. and if it absolutly wont budge then it may be carbon locked or maybe corroded together.

You have yourself a nice boat anchor there, my friend. It won't turn because the seals are stuck in place inside...locked solid. Since some were sticking out when it was shut off, and some were compressed in, the ones that were stuck out are now permanently stuck out and will not compress in as they need to when the engine turns, so it won't budge. Rarely do you rescue one that is like that.

Any core that sits exposed to water or humidity for more than 3 or 4 months will look like this inside:
