I think there are no pros. Using standard pistons in a cylinder with .020
oversize bore will increase the piston shirt clearance to a totally
untolerable value. The pistons would start hitting the cylinder walls,
and wear pretty fast. Not to mention the sound - an engine with piston
slap sounds like a diesel engine starting on a cold winter day.
