broken piston

I got mine for basically nothing and ended up putting close to 3k into it, and I didn't even do extra on the engine really. Over 2 was just parts I bought and put on myself. I coulda saved more, but I shipped the whole thing to kor to make sure it was done right. Tg4 ebay (as crappy as it is to be a seller), it payed for most of it. Funny part is guy at the local shop said "500 in parts n labor, we'll have you up and running", never went back there again! Nothing like the piece of mind knowing you have a basically new quad

Hey guys. I know this post is a bit old but i also have a piston with a broken skirt almost similar to ero blaster, the difference is that daddy's little girl was helping out and dropped my piston. So my question is can i salvage it? Im thinking i could dremel the sharp edges down so it doesn't scar the cylinder.

That is a big fat NO !.
 
Will it run? Most likely yes. Will that piston be rocking and slapping like crazy? Yes. Then after its had enough abuse the back side of the skirt would break off and potentialy take out the bottom end. To pricey of an experiment for me.
