Can you change the seal without pulling the engine????I might look at this car if it is possible.It's a 89 GXL all stock.

Last time I checked you need to rebuild if the seal is bad. I could be wrong though, but I would buy an all stock gxl with a bad coolant seal if I was you. It's just not worth it IMHO.

if the water seals (O rings) are bad you need to overhaul the engine, since they are sandwiched beetween the housings.



If the car is clean as hell and has a blown motor, buy it , for next to nothing.



if you don't want that route PM me the info if it's clean as hell, we're looking for a clean S4 NA to transplant TurboII parts into.
