SLUDGED To Death: Tearing Down My SEIZED Audi 3.0T Engine

The engine out of my 2011 Audi A6 has been lurking in the shop for awhile now. I decided is was time to tear it down and figure out what caused it to seize up in the car. I expected it was a headgasket issue as the exhaust was full of coolant when we pulled it apart. As I tore the engine down it seemed like there was no issue with the headgasket. All I found was sludge, and it only got worse as we went, the oil looked like jello in the oil passages. The sludge was so bad it caused the engine to seize.
