If the damage isn't very serious and you can overbore, then you have to replace all four pistons and bore out all four cylinders.

If the damage is too serious, then you have to re-sleeve it and replace the one piston.

If you pull the pistons out and find that the bad piston has ruined the rod or the crank, then you'll have to replace that as well.

Either way, you're screwed.
