If it's all scratched (like you would use direct sandpaper on it) at the admission, the engine ate dust from the filter or the fuel, and it doesn't sound good... If not, check the crankshaft pin : if it's over 4.98mm you can still use your engine. If not, you will have too much play and probably break the conrod.

hum, well i always keep my filters cleaned and oil so that whould be weird so i just take the backplate off and get a calbrater and measure the pin or do i have to take the whole crankshaft out i never done that ?
the engine starts up right away and i used a heat gun on the engine .
i actually had to use my heat gun to start it up since it was sitting for while.
