You need the entire engine cleaning out, and it can be a big job to get all the debris out of there, you do not reuse anything, it has to be all new or you can be throwing money away, and go for the uprated jdm twin scroll crank which is grooved and nitrated, some people call it a version 9 crank 
but these are different to the uk cranks, either that or go to a reputable engine builder.

Oh and you need to find out what caused the engine to fail in the first place or your wasting your time and money
