Reopening the engine

Ok I reopening the engine due to some problems. My question is should I replace the inner and outer water seals or can I still reuse them. Also does hylomar burn off when the engine is running? Because I was wondering if i reclean the housings to put more hylomar. Or Could I just reopening it and fix my problem then put it back together.

Thank you
-Russ

WOW how about responding to the questions asked of you. That is the only way people can help you.

The amount of miles are not at issue here. You asked if it should be recleaned. I said yes clean AS IF it was a rebuild on 100k. k=1000 by the way.

Too low of compression to start. Im pretty sure I did something wrong. Plus one of my rotors was a little bit messed up, so im planning to buy another one. Will take pictures and put on rx7club later.
