You would be better off to replace all the main and rod bearings. You will need to clean all the oil passages and galleys. Clean out the oil filter base and bypass valve, oil cooler if it has one and clean the oil pump. The main seals might be ok if you don't hurt them during the rest of the job. On the other side if you carefully clean the the bearing inserts and they don't have any smeared babit they will probably be ok. Particles inbeded in the bearing shell are not good they can move later on and cause engine damage. Small scratches hold more oil and don't Realy make a big problem. You might end up with a grenade just waiting to blow or a tough engine that just keeps on going. Good Luck
