Beware of crankshaft damage.

My wifes Hyundai blew a waterpump. She noticed it relatively quickly and shut the car down, but it did overheat.

I replaced the waterpump but now the crankshaft is messed up. I keep sheering off harmonic balancer bolts. Seems they go out after about 2000 miles now.

Other than that the engine runs fine. A little noiser than it used to be without any noticable performance loss.
