replacing coolant seals means a rebuild. and there's a 50/50 chance u'll have more than just coolant seals that will need replacing. a rebuild can get expensive, especially if u get port work done.

And if the car has been sitting for any length of time in this condition, the whole inside of the engine is trashed.
