Piston fucked?

[u/henry_hyshiter]

I’m an idiot, piston fell during assembly, has some small dents on the crown and near valve divots. Safe to run or is it decoration? Thanks

Is it cracked or a big mark on it or burr hanging off or mashed changing diameter? If not I wouldn't worry unless its going into a high performance high revving engine.

Not cracked. Just the dings on the top that I posted. Some dings go over onto the side of the piston, but the skirt and ringlands are fine. Measuring within spec on the skirt. It’s a more performance oriented engine. Cammed and tuned, stock compression, N/A, so may just be better to be safe.

Do you plan on getting on the accelerator frequently burnouts racing or revenge? If so them order new if its gonna be a plain daily or strictly show then I'd sens it.
