Hey guys
i got this junkyard engine and started to reseal it and pulled the heads and found this. Looks pretty bad but I’ve seen a lot of people say some damage is ok, can I just blend this damage down smooth and run it? They say this engine ran fine a month ago when they pulled it.
I have a old 6.9 that ran without oil pressure and destroyed the bottom end, is it better to use a piston from that engine with new rings? I just get nervous swapping used pistons, I feel like that can have more issues down the road.
If youre not doing a complete rebuild, I'd just blend out the damage with an air-grinder with a sanding disc on it. Dont even bother to pull the piston out; just blend it in-place. The cylinder walls look pretty good.

The walls are very clean, the reflection is deceiving but they are clean.
