You have to rebuild the engine every 3000 miles.

Everytime I pass the fish market, the damn seals just jump right out and grab a bite to eat.
I don't know how to keep them in the car!
It's sooooooooooo annoying!

Dude, what seals are you talking about? Corners seals, side seals, apex seals, etc, etc. There are abagillion seals in our motor. Get as much info as you can about what you are asking, and then ask us.

hahah you're a funny guy, Maz
If there is a problem with your seals, do what dannobre said and get them to replace the whole engine.
