Default machined standard pistons

im lookin at a bottom end on ebay which is meant to be low comp, spoke to the owner an he says these are standard pistons that have been machined, ad says build by jano but surely the pistons wont be able to take much,
any help appreciated as i might get it if they r ok as it works out cheaper than rebuilbing mine http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...id=p2761.l1259

standard comp ratio will be fine at that power as long as its set up right it will be fine probaly get away with the rods with a set of arp's if you treat it with some respect
