Dish in Piston???? I overevved my motor a few weeks ago and found some bent valves in the cylinder heads but i also saw some dishes in the piston from the valve smacking them. Do i need to replace the pistons or any other lower end parts. I know it will affect my compression ratio but some of the dishes are smaller than the others so i am worried. Cylinder 7 and 8 have smaller slices into the cylinder but 1 and 2 are deeper. What do i do about this?

I would change the pistons if I were you. Those "dishes" are irregularities that can become "hot spots", leading to detonation problems in the long run.
