Crankshaft, little scratch?

I noticed that there is a little scratch on the crankshaft main journal (flywheel). Its very little and about 1 inch long and when I run my fingernail along it i can feel it catch a little. is it still ok to use?

Take it to a machine shop, and talk to the machinist there. I had a slight nick in mine too when I was rebuilding my D16. He polished the scratch right out!
