If the rest of them are as gouged up as that one they need replaced. The dents and gouges on the top at the edge make it unservicable. They need to be replaced in sets finding an exact match and correct wieght. not likely.

Thanks!!

Is there a way to identify the Pistons they have a slight dome and are short skirt. The only ID is a 1 and 89/3. I want to send the cylinders with new Pistons to be recoated.

They look like custom JE pistons.

I have this set.

I think these are the Ruf "Yellowbird" pistons.

That is indeed an early 98mm Ruf piston, 7.5:1 compression.
If the ring lands are warped, there's no repairing it.
