timing belt skipped, valves kissed pistons, opinions?
so, unfortunately my timing belt skipped and the valves kissed the pistons, requiring me to pull the head, here are some pics of the pistons, do you think that the damage is significant enough to warrant replacement

those are not too bad of marks left on the tops. like said, if no cracks or anything most likely the bottom end is fine. i would recommend inspecting and/or replacing the valves, but chances are they are probably fine with how light those marks appear. better safe than sorry.

From the looks of the valves you wouldn't believe thats the only damage to the pistons...ever seen all the intake valves snap off? It's a daily driver....higher HP goals of 400-500 w/a gt3071r and other supporting mods.....def not going to the dealer....that would be pointless
