anybody have experience w/02 stratus 2.4L DOHC

I bought a pretty straight & clean 02 Stratus w/2.4L DOHC engine for real cheap. I know it's not an abody, but it is a mopar, and I'm not getting much info from any of the fwd forums. It reportedly has a seized engine. The dipstick had just a drop of oil on the end of it. The coolant reservoir is full, and there doesn't appear to be any huge oil leaks on the engine exterior. I need to assess the internal engine damage, so I know how to proceed. I'm told it has a block base plate, and two counter-rotating balance shafts. If I pull the pan to inspect the crank/rods, am I going to be able to see anything with the balance shafts in the way? Can the balance shafts and housing be removed in the car? If anybody has firsthand experience it would be most welcome.
