Thanks for the quick reply! May I ask what was the reason to change pistons as well?

You can re-use the pistons if they check out OK. Simply install new rings and follow the repair manual procedure for inspection and clearances.

I completely forgot I made this thread a long time ago. I didn't try it, ended up just swapping the motor for a F22C instead LOL
