I’d suggest a leakdown test, that should be too expensive. That will determine if significant damage was actually done. If it fails, that does not prove piston damage though. For less that $200, I have seen those flexible fiber optic cameras that can look into the cylinder just by removing the plug. ($179 at Costco)
