You should never mix up a set of pistons, or replace only one piston. They are made in batches so they all match in weight. If you swap out only one piston you will end up with an out of balance sit

Well, for one thing the cost of a new set of pistons from Moss is between $350 and $425 (Perhaps you can do better than that.) while most machinists will perform the measurements for nothing and the
