so close now, a disaster, good mind to take it all to the scrappy
Or anybody got a 30 thou oversized 3 ring piston to sell

Maybe 20 over.
Silly question, but if you buffed out the rough edges of that chip and put in new rings, how bad would it be? There's little extra load surface that chip gives the ring and but for a little (maybe) loss of compression, is it all bad?
