Getting into my engine and noticed scuffing on one side of the bottom of my piston skirts.From what I have read it may be lack of lubrication.What do you think?

I would assume they are fine to be reused ?

Sharp edge at the bottom of the bore was not removed after the bore / hone. Piston rocks as it begins to move up and is scuffed by this sharp edge.

Dress the bottom of the cylinder and reuse the pistons.

In addition check for excessive piston to wall clearance.

Blueprinting is a lost art that adds strength and reliability, which you can also use to make more power. It also avoids stuff like this. Part of blueprinting is deburring and breaking every edge on the engine. All 1001 of them. Hit those edges, get it back together with care, and enjoy your ride.
