Default Broke 1 piston, do I HAVE to replace all 4?

94 Civic EX
Stock D16z6

My compression #'s are as follows
190 190 190 80

I just pulled the #1 piston and found that it is broken (two pieces had come off in between rings).

Do I HAVE to replace the other 3 pistons as well? The compression #'s are great for the other 3.

Not interested in performace for this motor, just want it stock.

There's a saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Well that saying sux ***, Do all four of them. Save yourself the time in the long run.

i mean you dont have to fix them... they arent broken or loosing compression so i would say you dont have to but thats assuming you can find somebody who just has a piston laying around..... so just buy all four and replace them all because doing one is as hard as them all....

I dont need this motor built for boost. Ive got another boosted motor. This one has to be stock and running so I can sell my Coupe.
