Piston Stop damaged piston 22re
I forgot to remove the piston stop and I rotated the crank by hand all the way through TDC. The piston stop was only slightly touching the piston and I didn't notice any additional resistance rotating through TDC.
The piston now has a slight indent (about the size of this text).
Does the piston need to be replaced?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try and add a picture tonight.
I was looking for cracks and didn't see any but that's looking through the spark plug hole.
Would doing a compression test, by hand rotating the crank, indicate anything?

(you ought to mike a spark plug first; I'm not sure a 14mm camera head (16mm HF) will fit easily. But you can get camera heads down to about 7mm for a little more money.)

No. You'll never be able to crank it fast enough to tell the difference between ordinary blow-by and a crack of any size.
Or you could just save $75: http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-End...ords=borescope

I seriously doubt there is a hole of any sort. I just thought the scope would at least set your mind at ease.
