Pardon my ignorance but how can you use used pistons ?? Isn't that like buying old shoes ? I mean, I know the tolerances on modern engines are pretty tight and that there is likely very little difference in cylinder diameter between cars but won't your pistons and cylinders have "worn" together and putting pistons from one engine into a different engine cause a problem ??

Or is that why we have piston rings ?? !!

TIA for educating an ignoramus.
