most of time the piston,rings,pin,clips, pin bearing upper gasket kit,prolly rebore it. and bypass oiler and mix oil in fuel, depends on what got damaged.

Certainly not a good thing but if it runs still, I'd run it.
Do a compression test.
Even if there is piston damage, that don't ness mean that the bottom end has to come apart. The main brgs seem to do OK w/o oil for a very minimal time.
