Welcome to NICO!

If the previous owner spun a rod bearing, the motor won't even turn, and if that is the case, you'll just want a new bearing set, and probably not need a new gasket. However, it would be a good idea since you said he overheated it, and in this case you might take the head into a shop and check to make sure it's not warped.
