You'll need to buy a new piston, its junk if its chipped. Buy a new set of rings to match the piston manufacturer as well. You'll need to have the bore measured to learn whether or not it is within specs, and to learn which piston diameter, standard or an oversize, it requires before you buy anything. The bore must be freshly honed and let an experienced mechanic install them for you.
