I just went through this. Unfortunatly, you'll have to completly dissamble down to the bare block.

You'll need to have all the rod journals ground to the same size for proper balance.

You'll need to replace the damaged rod, and possibly the one next to it. Not so much from deformity or trauma, but from overheating. Look very closely at the rods for any heat bluing.

You need to inspect the heads carefully. If your quench area is tight, the piston may have struck the head. If so, you may need to resurface the head. And you'll definatly need to replace the piston.

All that debris in your oil pan has been sucked into the engine. You need to remove the galley plugs and cam bearings to clean it all out. Replace the cam bearings and the oil pump. Be sure it check the cam journals for scoring. Disassemble and clean out the lifters. If they have some miles on them, just replace them.

Then you need to ask this question. What happened? Why did you spin that bearing? If your oil pressure was good, you probably had some debris in the crank throw oil passage.
