Default Scuffed Piston Q?

Hi,

We are in the process of putting another engine together for my racecar, and have a set of used pistons with some light scuffing on the skirts. I've been told I can use them, and was wondering what the best way to clean this scuffing would be?

Should I just use a light sandpaper, and clean them up until smooth?

I know this is not optimal, but I did not expect a rod through my block, and have to now work with what I can come up with.

Scotchbrite is as aggressive as i would go.You want to remove as little material as possible.
