Was thinking the same. Why don't you heat it up with a propane torch, nice and easy, and see it it straightens out. Obviously, only if it won't ruin the potential of a return.Two stroke piston should be slightly oval shape when cold, expanding to round at running temperature.
As a guide, .001" per inch of bore piston to cylinder clearance, ie: two inch bore=.002" clearance.
How long ago did you buy that? That piston is only $20 now.

Remember if you measure clearance like that, you halve the measurement. That is 0.001" if the 0.002" feeler is snug.
