Default piston problems

hi all
bit of a problem and have limited cash need some advice, i was losing compression on piston 3 so stripped the block to find a bit of piston had broke bettwen the 2 comp rings. it is the phase 2 power engineering engine. now i brought 2 pistons out of a phase 2 PE engine(second hand) to replace the 2 that have gone. i receved them today and the problem i have got is that the diameter is different mine are 82.855 and the ones i have brought are 83.105 the question is can i still use these in my engine if i have the compression to match in all cylynders with out to much problems, i know this is not the best way of doing things but is it possible.

thanks in advance juff
