would you use this crank???

Another think my OCD is not 100% happy about. Deck looks beautiful with the exception of these two spots, both are dead center for bores at cyl1 and cyl6 only. Block had bore/hone and deck done to it. Hopefully I can use OEM gasket and don't have to go to MLS to get proper piston to head clearance.

Well...I picked up my block and crank from the shop. Not too happy..
I had this crank examined up and down under the magnifying glass, it was perfect. Long story short, I took in for some cleaning to the machine shop while they were doing my block. This is what I found when I brought it home (pic).

Brought it back and the shop said it would be ok to use it. He told me he can clean this journal once more, threw it on the lathe and used 400 crank belt. Obviously scoring is still there since the only way to get it out is to grind. This crank will go with late style bearings (lower one doesn't have the oiling groove) otherwise it would be dead in the middle of the groove.
I'm really OCD about stuff like that. Would you guys use this crank? I have another M52 crank but I already pressed the oil seal spacer on this one and would hate to buy another one.

Thanks
