stratches on piston sides

[xx1x2x3xx]

if there r scratches on the side of the piston will it cause any damage on my bike? i just full serviced my bike today and the mech told me that if i didnt replace my piston it will damage my block and the chances of my piston jamming is high. a penny for your thoughts...

You have to see the extent of the damage. An imperfect piston with uneven area(s) that protrude out due to scratches for instance, will cause it to jam one day.
