The cylinder has to be bored to the next over size that will clean up all marks,scoring from the cylinder walls or it's a waste of your money to try to install a stock piston!Have the cylinder measured against the stock bore 3.270 (83mm) Stay with Wiseco. Generally a second over Wiseco 83.50 mm (.020 over stock) should be sufficient to clean up most bores and after honing the piston to cylinder clearance should be no more that .0015 clearance if you want it to last. Plus you need to still make sure the bottom end is ok..http://www.wiseco.com/ProductSearch.aspx

Save your money and do it right! I don't think I've ever found a cylinder that had a broken piston skirt in that you could just hone and stick another stock piston back in. If the piston to cylinder clearance is .005 or over the cylinder is too worn for a standard piston! It wouldn't last. You'd have better odds at shoving money down a slot machine.
