Ask your mechanic for more details.
It sounds like he went to do your front main seal, and noticed that the crank is scratched from some who incorrectly changed that seal out before. If thats the case, you should be able to get a new seal and use form in place gasket sealer to fill in the gaps from the scratch. Your overheating was probably due to a leaking water pump. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
