The pin size is different depending on the cast number of the pistons. They may require machine work to be able to fit.

Both the pistons and rods are not a great choice regardless of how cheap they are.

You need C20XE pistons for a ZVH or you'll end up with a poor compression ratio. The ones you want have 86P in the serial number. But, as Jano says, with the price you can get proper forged rods and pistons there's not much point using the these days.
