If you're going through all the motions of replacing pistons, new big
end, main bearings and thrust washers are easy and inexpensive and a
check of the oil pump tolerances also costs little in time and $$. Sure
beats going back in again later. A caveat; check your cylinders for wear.
Won't do much good to replace pistons if your cylinders are out of round
or scored.
