1990 Eagle Talon 6 Bolt motor
- Bent 16 valves

Ok, the timing belt broke and the motor bent valves. However, it did leave some marks in the pistons. Not deep, but not just surface scratches. Overall, the motor is in good condition, (cylinder walls, bearings etc), so it is not in need of a rebuild. My theory is the small marks in the pistons will become carbon deposits and have no effect on the motor whatsoever. Attached are pictures. All opinions welcome.

 

Those pictures are quite something... cant really say anything form them...

 

Yeah, it was a little dark. There are only there just to give you the idea of what i was talking about.

 

you really need better pictures for anyone to be able to help you out

 

Its only a picture of the nicks on the pistons. The detail is really all there.

 

i cant see how deep the marks are...chances are it will be fine if they arent extremely deep into the piston

 

They are not that deep. I guess its like a deep scrape. I personally think it would be fine. I have never used "damaged" pistons in any motor before and was just looking for some opinions. Im guessing it will be filled by carbon. Any insight is appreciated.

 

plz come back with pictures from a digital camera using a flash...
