    Possible Piston Damage?

    Today I was rear ended on deerfoot in my ford escape... Which is fine, I'll deal with that. But I was carrying my pistons home so I could start to rebuild... Though they were secured in a box, the sudden motion had them hurl out of the box and had my brand new con rods land on them, as well as other parts. Now they look like this:

    Does anyone know if I can still use them..? Or if I can have them fixed? I don't want to have to pull the pistons from my current AEB, nor buy new ones. Was planning on bringing them by Calgary Autoworks tomorrow to have them looked at.

    Anyone have a set of AEB pistons for sale?

    Sofar best birthday ever...

    Look fine to me. File down any raised edges you may find.

      My main concern is the one on the skirt, it's quite pronounced... What kind of file would I use?

        Ended up buying new Wossner pistons, and am boring out to 82mm. Might as well do it right the first time.

        If anyone needs a brand new full set of Grant rings let me know.
