As general advise, only the most experienced of engine builders can get away re-using pistons.
Without seeing the piston in person and knowing how the engine was run, I would definitely hesitate to run a used piston. The skirts and ring lands could be damaged.
For P30s, I would definitely call RS machine and get a new set for $160~170.

I'd replace the rings and hone the cylinders then it should be pretty safe to use them. Rings are like 25 bucks from honda per piston.
If the clearances all are in spec then it should be good. Don't quote me on this, but can't piston tend to become an oval shape but very slightly
Do they have p30's. I see type r pistons but no p30's on the site catalog
