Ray i have an OS sleeve that has a very light scratch from a piston pin-clip coming off and ruining my piston(badly).
I do have another piston(not new) where i have installed a new rod as well as new bearing in the case since the pin left lots of metal pieces in the case and ruined the rod and possibly the bearings as well.

The engine now (which i didn't start yet) seems to have very low compression.As an OS fun i know that even with this low compression it will work but since i invested new rod and bearings in it i thought why not repinching it.

Do you thing it's worth repinching...even with the light scratch?
The piston looks like new.
How much life should i expect out from a light-medium pinch(will i be able to make up for the cost of new rod and bearings or save those for my other OS as spare parts?)??
