Re: Damaged piston
Wipe off the piston just using a clean towel. Now take a small ball-peen hammer and lightly tap on piston head and skirts. What you are looking for is stress cracks, if there is any the oil will come up out of them with the tapping.

Re: Damaged piston
Is that a TRW L2268 +.060 427 piston? flatlander racing has them for $68 each. I'd replace it to be safe.
Good luck, BCD.

Re: Damaged piston
It´s MUCH cheaper to buy one of these in the US than in Sweden. Sam is going to ship me one, so I´ll be on the safe side.
You always learn something. Thank´s !
