If the engine has a spun bearing, it can be replaced, but then you start getting into other items that can be expensive. Yes, a head gasket can be replaced, but if the bearing was damaged by coolant, and that can happen, it too will need repaired.
As far as the computer, it wouldn't have identified a head gasket. At best, if the head gasket was causing a misfire, it would have identified where the misfire was coming from.
Let me know if you have other questions.
