Not looking hot rebuild this but thought I'd take a look and see what they looked like. I put from you guys appreciated.

Looks to me like a high mileage engine that hasn't had good oil change intervals.

They really don't look that bad. Can you feel any grooving on the crank journal if you run your fingernail across it?

I have seen way worse.
 
Thanks. Could t feel much with the fingernail. Nothing that would catch. I'm unsure whether to run it or do something with it. Really didn't want to bother with a rebuild just run it till it goes.

If you don't have any scoring to speak of and don't want to rebuild it, I would throw it back together use some good Brad Penn oil in it, maybe some Z-Max and run it till it dies. It may last a lot longer than you think.
