Default RE: Piston Damage

Dents in the piston under the squish band or dents in the squish band will result in over compressed trapped gases which will cause detonation. I've fixed a Rossi 40 with equivalent damage from a broken retainer. I did that rather than buy a new one because it's a hobby and making that engine well was a fun exercise.
