i think the only thing that you could really do is to take the heads off and have the seats replaced.
it doesn't make sense to own and drive the car if the whole time you are thinking about whether the engine is going to waste itself. that just takes all the fun out of it.
now that you know this is an issue, is knowing the numbers really going to make you feel any better?
couple hundred for gaskets, get an estimate to replace the seats, and go from there.
do what you need to do to make it fun to drive, not a constant worry.
