is it a big job? the simple answer is yes!
you've done one or both of two things: (1) busted the water seals and/or (2) warped the rotor housing. either way, the engine will need a rebuild and it will more than likely require housings in addition to the seals and springs.

well, if you plan to replace as opposed to rebuild, let me know what you're going to do with the engine coming out. where are you located? good luck either way and if you have any questions throughout the process, just ask.
