I believe you mean seals, not tips. And if seals go, it's time for a full engine rebuild. You're looking at several thousand on up depending what you have done.

Yes when the seals are gone then you need a rebuild. But that it's mostly up to you. What mods you do, maintenance, what condition is the engine etc etc....
