Question 93 Civic Engine Siezed, need help.

93 civic w/ 176K, runs great, burns some oil, great on gas, until......

Yeah, I heard about removing gunk from engines, tried it, bought the gunk removal solution, followed directions w/ exception that I may have had only 2 qt of oil in engine, next drained oil, figured if the gunk removed or did what it was supposed to do since car has so much mileage the seals might leak, so I added extra oil, 4 qt, hoping some would leak out, car started actually sounded quieter, pick up nice, drove about 5 miles was about to pat myself on the back, when I heard the noise, tried to pull over. Noise got louder, car starts to vibrate, in an effort to get car back home, engine losses power, no acceleration, and engines shuts off. In an effort to remedy the problem I drained the oil, added new oil, car starts, idles w/ vibrations and smoke, and shuts off, drained oil, added new oil again, car starts and shuts off after about 5 seconds. I now am convinced the egine has siezed,........................................... .......................any suggestions, solutions, thanks to all in advance..
