Send it in to CP with the job card # and let them check it on a purpose-built machine that can measure used pistons, one side independently of the other, much better than a hand held mic. Sometimes when there is trauma to one skirt it folds in the opposite side and distorts the ring grooves. That piston doesn't too bad to me from the photo but you never can be sure w/o checking.
