Question Broke a valve.

As some of you know I hade a little car trouble. Well I got the head off and the problem was I broke a valve. It put a couple of dents in the piston but did not seem to do anymore damage than that.

Do you think the piston will be ok or will I have to replace it?

The dent is about 1/8" deep (about the depth of the fly cuts in the piston) and about a 1/4" wide.

The heads appear to be fine but I will have them checked to be sure.
