Id get forged pistons and a built bottom for nos. Those are stock cast pisons

I'm aware of this but I have a goal to meet and after market pistons and rods do not fit in the stock short block record holders group.

Yes they're fine.

Yes they're fine.

I guess the only real way to find out is to run it .

They don't look bad to me. I would still use them.

That's what I was thinking but it never hurts to get a second set eyes on something like that. Me jumping over from the Honda world things are kinda new to me but I'm learning fast.

Sometimes when the valves hit the pistons, it will dent the ringlands and pinch the ring.

Pop the pistons out and see if the rings still spin freely. If they do buff down the high spots and use them.

Personally, I would pull them and just polish the crown of the piston to help fight predet this will also help when you spray.

If this would brake the rules for the stock block record IDK

I'm not sure either. But I don't want to be the guy to find out. I clean them up check the rings to see if they are still free moving but other than that I think I'll leave it alone.
