04 98k New Water Seal(s)?

I've posted about my problem before. Hard start, white smoke clouds from exhaust. What I've gathered is my water seal is shot and coolant is leaking into the rotor housing. What all would I need to replace the seal(s)? Post a link if possible please.

You would need to rebuild the entire engine.

What exactly does that all entail? New springs, seals, etc.?

Yes, a complete rebuild kit, plus whatever major hard parts were ruined by the coolant. If that is the case I mean, I'm sure sure how you came to this conclusion.

It's often easier to buy a rebuilt engine from a professional rebuilder like Pineapple Racing, Pettit, etc. Find one near you. It's not a job for random mechanics.
