So I am rebuilding my 7M GTE and I took my engine to the machine shop to get some stuff done, but while I was assembling my engine together I notice one of pistons was chipped at the end, I was wondering if this is a serious matter? and should i actually replace the piston instead or just go with it? Thanks

here are some up close picture of how it looks
