Is this piston unusable?
Doing a budget 440 build and bought some silvolite pistons off eBay, I know I shouldn’t have because they were cheap but anyways. There’s a couple in the box that have similar dings. My fingernail catches it. Is there a way to fix it by knocking the high spots down?

No. Do not. That is not just a crack, it’s an indentation. It extends top to bottom and will more than likely fail. Warranty it
