Default Used wiseco pistons - Ok to reuse? Pics inside.

Ok to reuse in a new build? With new rings obviously.
The skirt on the one piston makes me a little concerned but what do guys think?

I'd reuse them, but I might want to replace that one piston. I'd be worried about that one skirt talking or sticking, so it's probably worth it for peace of mind.

If that one mikes within a few ten thousandths of the rest, I wouldn't be afraid of using it either. Was that one #7 in the previous build? That's the cylinder that seems to cause problems on LS motors. If it was #7 I'd switch with #1 or #3 this time.

Do you guys happen to know if wiseco could record the piston?
