It would be a good idea to measure up your bore and pistons. Even check your ring end gap. That wear looks pretty nasty. You could clean it up if $$ is tight. How tight is the piston on the rod? I noticed my old cast rod's were pretty tight and had bad wear like yours.
I got my hands on to some forged rods and mahle pistons and they are heaps looser on the rods..
