Hi all happy new year!

as ive had a couple of weeks off holiday i thought id rebuild my abused and ill maintained wilwood dynalites. So i bought some new seals and removed the first piston and its got a few score marks on it (see picture). Now the calipers sealed fine before but i dont want to put them back together only for them to leak, but at the same time the pistons are a tenner each so i dont want to be changing something that is ok.
So...what does everyone think?

As I'm lazy & would prefer to avoid having to re-do rather than save some money I'd just bite the bullet & buy the new pistons. I'd be bitching & moaning about spending the money of course :lol: but deep down I'd be more bothered/happy that I'd not need to do the same job twice
