might cause some slight detonation if the air/fuel is disrupted during compression "shrug:

I wouldn't use them. Those dents could've disfigured the entire piston in some way, making it weaker and warped. They could ruin your block if you used them again...

definitely true, those dents will probably be big hot spots on the pistons too increasing chances of detonation. dont use them again

I was thinking about getting a machine shot to lay a bead of tig weld and re surfaced flat. Think it would work.

i think you can order just 1 piston from JE/SRP.. they are all of the shelf pistons... try giving them a call, and make sure you give them the right info on your piston...compression/bore size
