It looks super rough all the way across the top of the exhaust port.
Are you looking at these pics on a phone or large PC screen? Above the exhaust port looks to be chewed to pieces all the way across.still the only part that concerns me is the lower right of the exhaust port. that looks like it could be a chip but above can be cleaned up more to be smooth. i wouldn't sand it anymore until it had a good acid treatment. if the area's above are worn through plating of course it's junk but it looks like it just needs more cleaning. everybody will have their opinion. some people are just more picky then others. funny thing is the picky guys don't even use saws much. regardless of whether you lost 20psi compression even. that jug could still be made to be reliable. that's just my opinion of course.

Like was said, if it's your saw and you want to take a chance go ahead. However, if it's your saw you can also buy an AM piston and cylinder for very little compared to OEM. I've used them on several occasions and would much rather run them than a beat up OEM cylinder. Around $30 from China..
$360 just for piston kit, gasket and crank seals
How much of that total was the piston itself ?
I agree al,it's still not clean.I've been fooled by pics before. I've sworn a jug was grooved when it was transfer deceiving me.
The area absent plating that I see below the exhaust port can be smoothed with a diamond ball.
It's the deep looking grooves above that worry me.
Keep sanding. I use an acid/sanding combo on jugs in general, but this is one place I would not.
