A while ago I mis-shifted on my S14 SR and spun the engine so fast that it broke 6 of my 8 rockers. Well I knew that there was more done to the engine than that. Once I got the head off I saw that I had only bent two valves. There was very little marks on pistons 2 and 4. I wasn't able to see and visible craks or damage. Is is possibly that I can re-use these pistons. I don't plan on re-usign them but I just need to hear a definate explanation from someone else. Also can anyone recoomend a good set of pistons.
