and if you're not using new pistons, i would at least round off the contact areas to eliminate any sharp edges that can get hot and promote detonation.

At least pop the pistons out, hone the bore and re ring it then at least it has a fighting chance....

You don't have to take the crank out...if you are going that far then you are moving towards a full build....if you was doing it all 100% properly then the crank would want checking for ovality etc....

I was just suggesting a way to prolong the life of the engine for a little while.

Parts prices below plus vat and delivery direct of Cosworth...
