Need quick on piston wrist pins, plz
I just connected my Eagle Rods to the CP Pistons. When i was putting the C Clips in place with the plastic end of a small screw driver, it was the best thing i could find. Well when i was putting in the c clips the ends of the clips made a small scratch on the piston right below where the pin goes in. The ringlands and the piston skirt on the intake and exhaust side are perfectly fine. My question is, have i completely ruined these pistons. My best thoughts that the wrist pin area is never going to touch the cylinder wall so i really shouldnt worry bout it or maybe i should very fine sand paper on the scratches and throw them in. I need some advice please.

i dont have a camera but my best description would be a scratch in the area where the wrist pin goes in or that little round grove to pop out the c clips

i think it should be fine, its not too much that will throw off the weighting, just make sure u sand it smooth so it wont hurt oil flow. but u really shoulding have a problem.
