I'd give that article a look-over. Then I'd flush my coolant and inspect it for those impeller pieces. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by a damaged crankshaft/crankcase? A picture of this would help.

A thorough flush and a new water pump should fix your problem.
Pity they hadn't been so insightful when they decided to fit a wheel bearing in the engine 😉
