it be cheaper to get a longblock than try to repair that properly.

strip the engine and sell it for parts, buy a longblock.

agreed, dont risk det via a rough head of a piston, buy a long block and part out the block you got

I'm sure it could be welded up and surfaced, but depending on how much heat gets put into the piston during welding, it may alter the aluminum's structure.

Is that an rb20 or rb25? If its a rb20 how much do you want for the valves or head?
