BH,
Have you spun the engine over by hand (with a pull bar) since the shut down? This might give you a little peace of mind if it feels smooth. If you seized a piston you would know for sure. It's a PITA without the correct tool, but you may want to cut the engine oil filter open and spread the pleats out and inspect them. If this is clean, these are indications you are probably OK as you wait patiently on your parts!
