what do you mean. Any negative effects other then exhaust note? I dont want to damage the block or head.

its easy to melt any piston with boost, deff. with no tuning.

Re: SRP 9:1 pistons , dropped valve. are they reusable? Pics (Typesi2nv)
im curious as to why all the pistons have pretty significant damage on the tops, did the motor ingest something on all four cylinders? If it were me, i would definatley not re-use that piston for any type of performance motor.

I'd truly only be sketch about that one that's real banged up, but I don't know enough to tell you if that one is useable. I would DEFINATLEY not throw out the other three... nobody sees the inside of the motor. I just think that the other one MAY be too significantly damaged and may affect compression causing tuning problems-- but who knows... it might not?

Re: SRP 9:1 pistons , dropped valve. are they reusable? Pics (Typesi2nv)
I would throw that one away... that thing is worthless.
The other 3 are fine. Just make sure they don't have any raised parts to them. If they do, grind them flat with the rest of the area. The reason you'd want to do this is because the raised parts are great areas for heat to dissipate to. After a while they could get red hot and once some fuel gets in there, BAM ... pre-ignition
So i'd throw out that one really messed up one and keep the others.

Not to mention that smashing the crap out of a forged piston more than likely would have some adverse affect to the material it self. After all, they were smashed (forged) into the shape that they are (were) in. I think that you had best toss em, or make paper weights out of them

Re: SRP 9:1 pistons , dropped valve. are they reusable? Pics (SiRkid)
everyone keeps asking if he dropped valves in all 4 cylinders!?!!?thank of it this way....
lets say an intake valve drops, its gonna bonce around like a ping pong ball in the cylinder while the motor still revs. its more than likely gonna break apart in the cylinder. then the pistons gonna force the debris thru any opening in the CC, whether its the intake or exhaust ports. so some of it went back in the intake manifold then into the other cylinders, bounced around a little then went out the exhuast. also if the car was turboed id check the turbine wheel.
also, 3 of those pistons look fine. just make sure theres no sharp edges. either way i dont like SRP's(shitty racing piston), id buy 4 new ones (endyn, wiseco, CP)
just wanted to clear that up

there is no way that one dropped valve caused damage to all four pistons, it looks like something else was wrong, that caused the dropped valve, to me.

i agree,theres no way a dropped valve could work its wayup and out and then back into another cylinder.....maybe throught the intake but i dont think thats very possable either.i know it cant happen in the exhaust side.
clue us in man,what are all the dings in the other 3 pistons from?just one valve?

Yeah there is no way in hell that ONE dropped valve fought the flow of the motor and made its way back to the plenum and then into the other THREE cylinders

exactly. just asking questions about them. I was fearing to get flaimed about asking about them so I kept the origin of the pistons unknown. but i have been talkin to the original owner of them. He is just claiming to lay a bead of tig weld and then refinish the surface at a machine shop. He never answerd my question about the other 3 pistons. But i'll re email him.

Re: SRP 9:1 pistons , dropped valve. are they reusable? Pics (Typesi2nv)
I have some piston parts of my last motor though from a boost project gone bad but these I was just asking if they could be saved. Price is low on them. That is why i kept the origin unknown incase they were usable I wouldnt have a million extra buyers that were willing to get them. err can't sneak nothin past you all.
