I'm temped, as a challenge to a problem that raised when getting ready to assemble my engine, to modify the pistons skirts since one of the pistons got a crack in the skirt, under the pin side. I see racing people do this on their engines, and obviously engine lifespan is not a problem for them. So my question is: would modifying my pistons this way would reduce their lifespan? Or would they last as if they were in their original shape?
First pic shows where the crack is, second pic is a very rough idea of where I can cut it.
