Is this piston OK?

While putting my pistons in, my ring compressor decided it wanted to get pounded into the cylinder wall too. Just wanted to see if this piston is still ok to run.

I would find a way to make sure you remove all of the burrs that protrude from the piston skirt. I wouldnt worry about the groove but more of anything that can scrap the cylinder wall. clean it up real nice and you would be fine.
