You might want to try a mechanic rather than an internet forum for bottom end advice.

You will need a new crank, sleeves, and possible rods because it sounds like you might have also ruined the big end. If you did any damage to the block, add that to the list.

Yes, thats the normal look for a factory crankshaft.

If you have any doubts, mic the crank and rod journals to see if they are within factory limits.
