B230FT Blown HG = Chunk missing from piston? 700

So I pulled the head off my 88 turbo wagon since it blew the gasket. I noticed the #2 piston has a chunk missing on the exhaust side - not all the way down to the ring but there is a large piece missing from the edge. My dad thought it might have burned away but I'm not sure... has anyone seen this before?? Also, as this is my first HG job, should I be concerned with the fact that there is a large amount of crusty stuff on top of the pistons? Can I get away with just replacing the damaged #2 piston (assuming the others look good)?

Thanks,
Phil
