At a minimum, have the crank polished by a machine shop. Buy a rifle cleaning kit and clean the oil passages of debris before reinstalling.
I'd pull off a cam bearing cap and look for wear up there as well.

can you 'feel' the markings if you scrape a fingernail across them?
as an apprentace I was taught to use this as you can 'feel' down to about 0.003" with a nail![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/cool.gif)
