I'd say someone all ready put sand paper on the piston in the effort to rebuild the engine. If it was my bike, I would not be satisfied with that and buy a new piston. Sure the one you have if in specs still will work, but knowing that it is damaged just would bug me.
BDI:
Anytime I rebuild a two stroke I pressure test it. I test it before I take it appart and after I put it back together. This helps to diagnose why it blew up and helps to insure You didn't miss anything putting it back together. This is the reason I put case sealer on kx500 main seals now when I put them in.
kaw rider:
Like Brian said, case sealer around your seal will help you out on pressue testing. You will be shocked sometimes were you find air leaks at.
