They did the stitching of it and say it will be fine. I only came across this stitching thing about a month ago on here. This stitching will prevent any water seeping through the crack?
Though we don't use sealant with the head gasket, should I spread some along the length of the crack anyways?

if it is the stitching that was discussed a couples times on other threads in the past 2 years, there is in fact no more crack: they basically drill the whole crack out and fill the holes with these "special screws". Supposed to be leak-proof...
