Rebuild the motor man, if you buy another motor you will be getting a used motor. At least with the rebuild you are starting fresh. Coolant seals require a rebuild, sorry no way around it, that I know of.

i found out that the coolant seals werent blown, the guy was a complete idiot. he said there was alot wrong when theres not. the coolant system just needed to be burped of air. so motors good and runs like a champ right now

Hey, I just rebuild my motor without replacing my oil seals on the rotors. But I did replace the coolant seats, side seals and apex seals and springs. If I use a different turbo than the stock, should I use blockers?
