At what point are pistons trash??
Looks like I over extended the valves and the hit the pistons
Cylinder 6 has a shallow gouge.
Some of the other cylinders have very slight scratches, just enough to tell it made contact.
I just want to get the car running descent so I can sell it our trade it in.
Can I take a dremel and smooth the cyl 6 out or what??

I over revved my block last year and gouged 3 pistons fairly good too. They were all gouged almost dead center and if you have the patience get an emory cloth and high grit sand paper and get to work. Be very tedious just to make sure you sand down the gouge and NOT the piston face. The pistons have been in over a year now with no problems. Besides they will carbon deposit in no time flat anyhow ;-) Your pistons should be fine especially if the gouge is shallow.

That's exactly what I meant thanks for clearing it up. Don't be hasty and just start sanding away at it. You don't want to sand a spot you didn't mean to and end up with a low spot.
