FWIW, I did the drop in kit from Texas Speed

JE Pistons
TSP H Beam Rods
Factory Crank

I was working with a 6 liter LQ4 also

I would take a small grinding wheel and clean up the rough edges and put it back together and run it. You will never tell the deference in the way it runs.

That was my initial thought but then I figured it might be a weak point and possibly cause more damage down the road? Some of the dings in the piston and head are about a 1/16th deep.

You're suggesting a bit of grinding metal with a dremel tool or grinding wheel to which piece of precisely engineered metal?
I'm serious, are you...?

Yep, very serious. How long have you been an auto tech?

In Steve Morris' video just last night he said that he would have done the same thing to his race engine piston if he didn't already have a spare piston in hand and the engine halfway apart.
