Just out of curiosity, what oil were you running?
I have seen a number of seizure issues on modular engines from owners using the wrong oil (too heavy).
The oil passages to the top end are pretty small and do not allow for proper lubrication when too high of viscosity is used. Can't say I have seen an issue when the factory recommended oil is used.
Just had the oil changed at the dealership so I'm assuming they used whatever the recommended oil is. Turns out the fuel injector failed and allowed gas into the oil which caused the oil to thin and seize the motor. I gave the car to my dad and he's going to buy a new engine for it. $7k installed with a 3 year warranty unlimited mileage.
