with any high compression piston, you will need to worry about piston to valve clearance. do a search on the boards on how to "clay a motor". also, for the price of those pistons, you can go with a as good, if not better brand for much less.

you dont need a "kit" when you go to buy whatever pistons you buy just get rings from whoever is sellng them to you. thats all a kit is.

The only way to find out for sure is when you measure each cylinder out to see if your out-of-roundness and taper is still within limits. If they are, you may use the stock 81mm piston/rings of your choice (there are many manufacturers who make 81mm; a little search does wonders). Good luck on your project
