Default Re: Fumbled a piston

Guten Abend Dave.

If it were my engine, which I would drive a lot in my car in the future, I would take four new oversized pistons and with cylinderliners grinded and honed.

Yes, the piston can still be used. But it imbalances a little. And with every trip you would crawl your ears into the engine to hear if something knocks. Four complete cylinder sets are an increase in value for 100,000 miles without uncertainty.
