Tear down your motor. See what of it is reusable. If you have good rotors and housings, you're probably better off with a rebuild.

If you wanna learn how to rebuild and do it yourself thats fine. Theirs no better way to learn about the motors than to tear them apart.

Exactly as he said.

If the car's overheated in the past the housings could be warped. If only your coolent seals are f'ed then its a good possibility the rest is good.
