I think I know the answer but hopefully I am wrong. I was installing new rings and found that 1 piston had a chunk missing from the wall (see pic). Is there any hope for this piston or is it dead.My guess is that it is trash but can I replace a single piston or do I have to replace all 4?

If one chunk came out, whats to stop more from coming out at 6K RPM. Plus i think you will break a ring. Junk IMO. |
