From what I have read it seems it's caused by coolant being in the cylinders. But I'm not sure If this piston is ok run or not .

Thanks Brain. I Delipped and radiused these last night for Zach and then after cleaning this one up, I seen this pitting and showed him the picture. Wasn't sure exactly what caused it and asked him to post in on here for better knowledge on this issue...

More than likely. I wouldn't use it though. How's the head look?

Yes that is after getting cut. I ended up just getting another piston. From what fingers has said in previous posts its from running it so long with bad head gaskets / leaking injector cups.
