Well just like body work...where the dent/nicks are, i assume there will be high spots on the outside of the nick that could really scratch your walls. i dont no to much about piston refab. but someone will let you know.

yeah i was thinking about going over them very lightly with some sandpaper and getting rid of the high spots and whatever so it doesn't scratch the walls.

im pretty sure it wont effect performance since its below the ringlands

knock down the high spots and make sure the land isnt pinched and it should be good to go

i got 2 sets already. last set were stolen from me(i bought a fj kit). i got these from member on dso. he said they were brand new so i grabbed them. i dont want to buy a third set.
if i get a third set it would cost me as much as forged

just sand it down and make sure the rings dont bind up at all.
