Default piston damage (new problem)

While doing valve job on my 51 8ba I discovered this damage to #6 piston. It was not there 10 months ago when I had the head off. Never heard anything and the compression was good when checked before I took head off. Looks like a small piece broke off piston top edge and bounced around before being ejected. See attached picture. Not looking forward to dropping pan and removing piston to examin. Any ideas?
