spun rod bearing?

hey guys. sooo i thought i had a spun rod bearing about a month ago.
and i havent driven my car since. because the battery died. and i didnt want to drive it with the horrible knock.
so i pulled my oil pan down. and took off my bearings. and well here's a few pictures of what i saw!!

kinda sad isnt it. i could actualy bend some of those if i wanted to with my fingers.
i pick up my new engine in the morning!

Perhaps she need s a bit of a tune up, New Spark plugs, Oil Change Etc... Did you use any of your old engine parts on this at all or are they all new? (Like are all the parts on your engine the ones that came with it?) And if so you might need to clean the injectors or something simple like that... I would try the basics first myself, and go from there.
Glad your back on the road though!

Could have the cam timing off. Of course, always put a new timing belt on a used engine before putting it in the car.
