Ok the piston had a little groove were the valve hit. does that affect the pistons??????

I don't know how it will affect the stock bottom end, but Im running forged pistons that had some piston to valve contact without any problems.

How bad is it? How many pistons got hit? Pics??

Holy crap bro! This is turning into a bigger and bigger "woops" as the days progress. If I were you I'd be loosing my mind by now.

But I'll answer your question with another question: how deep (roughly) is the groove? Is it around 1mm or less? Pics would help us juge this a little better. Hopefully that impact didn't result in a fractured piston sleeve or even worse - a damaged crank journal.

I don't remember your setup quite that well, did you use forged or cast pistons?

3 pistons. its only a little. like 1/16th of an inch. i dont have a camera good enough to actually help you guys on this one. stock pistons, engine was rebuild right before i bought, so i dont know if that includes new pistons
