So i am getting prepared to swap my engine for a gently used 288

Last night I added new stabilizer Bar bushings and remove the piston for my oil topped I've included a picture of the piston if Phil Smith touch but has some deposits on it and I'm wondering if this is of any concern

I've also included a picture of the Pistons out of the original engine if you look closely above each piece of painters tape is a chunk missing from each question also is the new engine with trans fluid in the cylinders - no fluid leaked after 48 hours. The cylinders have zero where as is evidenced by no rich I'll also be doing a leak down test but didn't wanna waste the money on the head gasket until doing the fluid leak test
