hello guyz.. just wondering would a chip on a piston like on this post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=718866 affect performance? worth buying? TIA

uh yea it will affect performance , you will prob lose compression from it , if not that it might cause detonation .
dont buy it .

It depends. If it is a very small chip from where the valve cutouts in the top of the piston makes the edge really thin, then I would say you could file/sand the edges smooth and you'd be OK unless you were making huge power. Can you get a pic of it from the top? That would really tell you how bad it is.
