Pistons are fine I'd be more worried about your valves

why are they hitting? are you running a thinner H/G, Timing off?

might wanna check/change out your valves

Id be worried about your rod bearings too...

off topic but you should start using distilled water, look at those coolant ports :eek:

same shit happened to me; i installed the head by myself, the chain fell and i assumed the guides inside the front cover would keep it on the mark.. cams lined up perfectly but i must have been some teeth off the crank sprocket

my pistons look exactly like those
